Anthropometric measures are satisfactory substitutes for the DXA‐derived visceral adipose tissue in the association with cardiometabolic risk—The Tromsø Study 2015–2016
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-05-03)Background - Body mass index (BMI) increases while cardiometabolic risk factors decrease in individuals in high-income countries. This paradoxical observation raises the question of whether current measures of overweight and obesity properly identify cardiometabolic risk.<p> <p>Methods - A total of 3675 participants (59% women) aged 40–84 years with whole-body dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry ... -

Fish intake and pre-frailty in Norwegian older adults - a prospective cohort study: the Tromsø Study 1994–2016
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-07-05)Background Pre-frailty is an intermediate, potentially reversible state before the onset of frailty. Healthy dietary choices may prevent pre-frailty. Fish is included in most healthy diets, but little is known about the association between long-term habitual fish intake and pre-frailty. We aimed to elucidate the longitudinal association between the frequency of fish intake and pre-frailty in a ... -
