      Noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) are a leading cause of premature death globally and have common preventable risk factors. In Norway, the NCDNOR-project aims at establishing new knowledge in the prevention of NCDs by combining information from national registries with data from populationbased health studies. In the present study, we aimed to harmonize data on key NCD risk factors from the health ...

      To estimate occurrence of non-communicable diseases (NCDs) over the life-course in the Norwegian population, national health registries are a vital source of information since they fully represent the entire non-institutionalised population. However, as they are mainly established for administrative purposes, more knowledge about how NCDs are recorded in the registries is needed. To establish this, ...
    • Pre-diagnostic body mass index and weight change in relation to colorectal cancer survival among incident cases from a population-based cohort study 

      Laake, Ida; Larsen, Inger Kristin; Selmer, Randi; Thune, Inger; Veierød, Marit Bragelien (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2016-07-07)
      Background:<br> Whether excess body weight influences colorectal cancer (CRC) survival is unclear. We studied pre-diagnostic body mass index (BMI) and weight change in relation to CRC-specific mortality among incident CRC cases within a large, Norwegian cohort.<br> Methods:<br> Participants’ weight was measured at health examinations up to three times between 1974 and 1988. CRC cases were ...
