    • A population-based study of inflammatory mechanisms and pain sensitivity 

      Schistad, Ellina Iordanova; Kong, Xiang Yi; Furberg, Anne-Sofie; Bäckryd, Emmanuel; Grimnes, Guri; Emaus, Nina; Rosseland, Leiv Arne; Gordh, Torsten; Stubhaug, Audun; Engdahl, Bo Lars; Halvorsen, Bente Evy; Nielsen, Christopher Sivert (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-10-21)
      Two recent studies suggest that experimental pain sensitivity is associated with low-grade systemic inflammation. However, only 2 biomarkers have been identified, and the studies were conducted in adult individuals where confounding effects of comorbid diseases cannot be excluded. We therefore tested associations between pain sensitivity and 119 inflammation-related serum biomarkers in 827 healthy ...

    • Reduced heart rate variability is related to the number of metabolic syndrome components and manifest diabetes in the sixth Tromsø study 2007–2008 

      Azulay, Naomi; Bjørkholt Olsen, Roy; Nielsen, Christopher Sivert; Stubhaug, Audun; Jenssen, Trond Geir; Schirmer, Henrik; Frigessi, Arnoldo; Rosseland, Leiv Arne; Tronstad, Christian (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-07-14)
      Both diabetes mellitus (DM) and the metabolic syndrome (MetS) are associated with autonomic neuropathy, which predisposes to cardiac events and death. Measures of heart rate variability (HRV) can be used to monitor the activity of the autonomic nervous system (ANS), and there are strong indications that HRV can be used to study the progression of ANS-related diabetes complications. This study ...

    • Reference curves for pediatric endocrinology: leveraging biomarker z-scores for clinical classifications 

      Madsen, Andre; Almås, Bjørg; Bruserud, Ingvild Særvold; Oehme, Ninnie Helen Bakken; Nielsen, Christopher Sivert; Roelants, Mathieu; Hundhausen, Thomas Eckhard; Ljubicic, Marie Lindhardt; Bjerknes, Robert; Mellgren, Gunnar; Sagen, Jørn V.; Juliusson, Pétur Benedikt; Viste, Kristin (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-03-17)
      Context: Hormone reference intervals in pediatric endocrinology are traditionally partitioned by age and lack the framework for benchmarking individual blood test results as normalized z-scores and plotting sequential measurements onto a chart. Reference curve modeling is applicable to endocrine variables and represents a standardized method to account for variation with gender and age.<p> <p>Objective: ...

      Common single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) are predicted to collectively explain 40–50% of phenotypic variation in human height, but identifying the specifc variants and associated regions requires huge sample sizes1 . Here, using data from a genome-wide association study of 5.4 million individuals of diverse ancestries, we show that 12,111 independent SNPs that are signifcantly associated ...

    • Shift work, low-grade inflammation, and chronic pain: a 7-year prospective study 

      Christensen, Jan Olav; Nilsen, Kristian Bernhard; Hopstock, Laila Arnesdatter; Steingrimsdottir, Olöf Anna; Nielsen, Christopher Sivert; Zwart, John-Anker; Matre, Dagfinn (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-02-07)
      <i>Objectives</i> - We investigated prospective associations of shift work with chronic pain and C‐reactive protein (CRP), an indicator of inflammation. Furthermore, we elucidated CRP as a possible mediator and/or moderator of effects of shift work on pain.<br><br> <i>Methods</i> - Data from a 7 years follow‐up study were analyzed (<i>N</i> = 2323). Shift work and chronic pain of “neck/shoulder”, ...

    • Social network analysis of Staphylococcus aureus carriage in a general youth population 

      Stensen, Dina Benedicte Berg; Cañadas, Rafael A. Nozal; Småbrekke, Lars; Olsen, Karina; Nielsen, Christopher Sivert; Svendsen, Kristian; Hanssen, Anne Merethe; Ericson, Johanna U; Simonsen, Gunnar Skov; Bongo, Lars Ailo; Furberg, Anne-Sofie (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-08-31)
      Objectives Staphylococcus aureus carriage increases infection risk. We used social network analysis to evaluate whether contacts have the same S. aureus genotype indicating direct transmission, or whether contagiousness is an indirect effect of contacts sharing the same lifestyle or characteristics. Methods The Fit Futures 1 study collected data on social contact among 1038 high school students. ...

    • Tinnitus and associations with chronic pain: The population-based Tromsø Study (2015-2016) 

      Ausland, Jannike Heyerdahl-Larsen; Engdahl, Bo Lars; Oftedal, Bente Margaret; Steingrímsdóttir, Ólöf Anna; Nielsen, Christopher Sivert; Hopstock, Laila Arnesdatter; Johnsen, Magnar; Friborg, Oddgeir; Rosenvinge, Jan H; Eggen, Anne Elise; Krog, Norun Hjertager (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-03-02)
      Tinnitus and pain have many similarities. Both are subjective sensations that may turn chronic, they are often accompanied by hypersensitivity in their respective sensory system, and overlapping brain changes have been observed. Since no population study has examined the empirical association between chronic pain and tinnitus, the present study aimed to explore the relationship in a general adult ...

    • To tolerate weather and to tolerate pain: two sides of the same coin? The Tromsø Study 7 

      Farbu, Erlend Hoftun; Rypdal, Martin; Skandfer, Morten; Steingrimsdottir, Olöf Anna; Brenn, Tormod; Stubhaug, Audun; Nielsen, Christopher Sivert; Höper, Anje Christina (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-09-09)
      It is a common belief that weather affects pain. Therefore, we hypothesized that weather can affect pain tolerance. This study used data from over 18,000 subjects aged 40 years or older from the general population, who participated in the Tromsø Study 7. They underwent a one-time assessment of cuff algometry pressure pain tolerance (PPT) and cold pain tolerance (CPT), tested with a cold pressor test. ...

    • Vitamin D Status During Adolescence and the Impact of Lifestyle Changes: 2 Years’ Follow-up From the Fit Futures Study 

      Öberg, Eva Gunnel Johanna; Jorde, Rolf; Almås, Bjørg; Nielsen, Christopher Sivert; Gerds, Thomas Alexander; Cashman, Kevin D.; Grimnes, Guri (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-11-13)
      Context: Longitudinal data regarding vitamin D status in adolescence is scarce. This study presents population-based data from an Arctic adolescent population (n = 589) at 16 and 18 years. Objective: The aims of this study were to investigate changes in vitamin D status during 2 years in adolescence, and whether lifestyle changes were associated with serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D (s-25(OH)D) at follow-up. ...

    • Widespread hyperalgesia in adolescents with symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome: results from a large population-based study 

      Stabell, Niklas; Stubhaug, Audun; Flægstad, Trond; Mayer, Emeran; Naliboff, Bruce D; Nielsen, Christopher Sivert (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2014-06-03)
      Widespread hyperalgesia is well documented among adult patients with Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), but little is known about pain sensitivity among adolescents with IBS. We examined pain sensitivity in 961 adolescents from the general population (mean age 16.1 years), including pain threshold and tolerance measurements of heat (forearm) and pressure pain (fingernail and shoulder), and ...

    • Working in a cold environment, feeling cold at work and chronic pain: A cross-sectional analysis of the Tromsø Study 

      Farbu, Erlend Hoftun; Skandfer, Morten; Nielsen, Christopher Sivert; Brenn, Tormod; Stubhaug, Audun; Höper, Anje Christina (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-11-11)
      <i>Aim</i> - The aim of this study was to investigate if working in a cold environment and feeling cold at work are associated with chronic pain (ie, lasting ≥3 months).<p> <p><i>Methods</i> - We used data from the sixth survey (2007–2008) of the Tromsø Study. Analyses included 6533 men and women aged 30–67 years who were not retired, not receiving full-time disability benefits and had no missing ...
