    • Body weight and body mass index influence bone mineral density in late adolescence in a two-year follow-up study. The Tromsø Study: Fit Futures 

      Nilsen, Ole Andreas; Ahmed, Luai A.; Winther, Anne; Christoffersen, Tore; Thrane, Gyrd; Evensen, Elin; Furberg, Anne-Sofie; Grimnes, Guri; Dennison, Elaine; Emaus, Nina (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-04-04)
      Determinants of bone acquisition in late adolescence and early adulthood are not well‐described. This 2‐year follow‐up study explored the associations of body weight (BW), body mass index (BMI), and changes in weight status with adolescent bone accretion in a sample of 651 adolescents (355 girls and 296 boys) between 15 and 19 years of age from The Tromsø Study: Fit Futures. This Norwegian ...

    • Evaluering av den helse­faglige forsknings­satsingen i Helse Nord 

      Hanssen, Tove Aminda; Evensen, Elin (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-10-29)
      <p>Background: At the beginning of the 2000s, Norwegian research in nursing and allied health disciplines was described as weak. Since 2007, the Northern Norway Regional Health Authority has had a strategic focus on enhancing health research. <p>Objective: The objective of this project was to evaluate whether the Northern Norway Regional Health Authority’s research investment has given results. ...

    • How Is Adolescent Bone Mass and Density Influenced by Early Life Body Size and Growth? The Tromsø Study: Fit Futures—A Longitudinal Cohort Study From Norway 

      Evensen, Elin; Skeie, Guri; Wilsgaard, Tom; Christoffersen, Tore; Dennison, Elaine; Furberg, Anne-Sofie; Grimnes, Guri; Winther, Anne; Emaus, Nina (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-03-30)
      The effect of birth weight and childhood body mass index (BMI) on adolescents’ bone parameters is not established. The aim of this longitudinal, population‐based study was to investigate the association of birth weight, childhood BMI, and growth, with adolescent bone mass and bone density in a sample of 633 adolescents (48% girls) from The Tromsø Study: Fit Futures. This population‐based cohort study ...

    • The influence of birth weight and length on bone mineral density and content in adolescence: The Tromsø Study, Fit Futures 

      Christoffersen, Tore; Ahmed, Luai A.; Daltveit, Anne Kjersti; Dennison, Elaine; Evensen, Elin; Furberg, Anne-Sofie; Gracia-Marco, Luis; Grimnes, Guri; Nilsen, Ole-Andreas; Schei, Berit; Tell, Grethe S.; Vlachopoulous, Dimitris; Winther, Anne; Emaus, Nina (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2017-06-02)
      <p><i>Summary</i> The influence of birth weight and length on bone mineral parameters in adolescence is unclear. We found a positive association between birth size and bone mineral content, attenuated by lifestyle factors. This highlights the impact of environmental stimuli and lifestyle during growth.</p> <p><i>Purpose</i> The influence of birth weight and length on bone mineral density and ...

    • The influence of snuff and smoking on bone accretion in late adolescence. The Tromsø study, Fit Futures 

      Nilsen, Ole-Andreas; Emaus, Nina; Christoffersen, Tore; Winther, Anne; Evensen, Elin; Thrane, Gyrd; Furberg, Anne-Sofie; Grimnes, Guri; Ahmed, Luai A. (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-09-27)
      Summary - Areal bone mineral density (aBMD) predicts future fracture risk. This study explores associations between use of tobacco and bone accretion in Norwegian adolescents. Our results indicate that use of snuff is negatively associated with accretion of aBMD in adolescence and may be a signal of increased future fracture risk.<p> <p>Purpose - Bone mineral accrual in childhood and adolescence ...
