Challenges with the interpretation of Sami ethnicity and the height differences in epidemiologic research comparing Sami and non-Sami population
Siri, Susanna Ragnhild; Michalsen, Vilde Lehne (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-12-07)Ethnicity clusters individuals with shared characteristics and is a common variable in epidemiology. Often it is not specified what is meant by a given ethnicity or what characteristics ethnicity entails in the different contexts. In public health research, ethnicity can be viewed as a non-modifiable risk factor of disease because modifying the ethnic composition in a population is not meaningful, ... -
Change in prevalence and severity of metabolic syndrome in the Sami and non-Sami population in rural Northern Norway using a repeated cross-sectional population-based study design: the SAMINOR Study

Coronary heart disease and stroke in the Sami and non-Sami populations in rural Northern and Mid Norway - the SAMINOR Study
Siri, Susanna Ragnhild; Eliassen, Bent Martin; Broderstad, Ann Ragnhild; Melhus, Marita; Michalsen, Vilde Lehne; Jacobsen, Bjarne K.; Burchill, Luke; Braaten, Tonje (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-05-12)<i>Background</i> - Previous studies have suggested that Sami have a similar risk of myocardial infarction and a possible higher risk of stroke compared with non-Sami living in the same geographical area.<p><p> <i>Design</i> - Participants in the SAMINOR 1 Survey (2003–2004) aged 30 and 36–79 years were followed to the 31 December 2016 for observation of fatal or non-fatal events of acute ... -
A descriptive study of ten-year longitudinal changes in weight and waist circumference in the multi-ethnic rural Northern Norway. The SAMINOR Study, 2003-2014
Jacobsen, Bjarne K.; Melhus, Marita; Kvaløy, Kirsti; Siri, Susanna Ragnhild; Michalsen, Vilde Lehne; Broderstad, Ann Ragnhild (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-02-19)The obesity epidemic is dynamic with varying secular trends and differences between countries and ethnic groups. The objective of this study was to describe the age- and sex-specific longitudinal changes in weight and waist circumference in a rural Norwegian population with a high proportion of the indigenous Sami population. Based on two population-based surveys, SAMINOR 1 (2003–2004) and SAMINOR ... -
Metabolic syndrome, obesity and ethnicity—The SAMINOR Study
Michalsen, Vilde Lehne (Doctoral thesis; Doktorgradsavhandling, 2021-10-13)Clustering of certain cardiometabolic risk factors is known as metabolic syndrome (MetS). MetS is associated with an unhealthy lifestyle and the prevalence is increasing alongside the obesity epidemic, making it an important public health issue. Both MetS and obesity are common in the adult population in rural Northern Norway, which comprises an ethnically mixed population. MetS is defined using ... -
Metabolsk syndrom, fedme og etnisitet i samiske kjerneområder
Michalsen, Vilde Lehne; Melhus, Marita (Chapter; Bokkapittel, 2022-03-16)Metabolsk syndrom er en ansamling risikofaktorer for hjerte- og karsykdom og diabetes type 2. Disse risikofaktorene inkluderer forstørret midjeomkrets, forhøyet fastende blodsukker, forhøyede nivåer av triglyserider, lave nivåer av HDL-kolesterol (det ‘gode’ kolesterolet), og høyt blodtrykk. Dette kapittelet presenterer hovedfunn fra en doktorgrad som baserer seg på ... -
Obesity measures, metabolic health and their association with 15-year all-cause and cardiovascular mortality in the SAMINOR 1 Survey: a population-based cohort study
Michalsen, Vilde Lehne; Wild, Sarah H.; Kvaløy, Kirsti; Svartberg, Johan; Melhus, Marita; Broderstad, Ann Ragnhild (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-10-21)Background - The mortality of metabolic-obesity phenotypes has been thoroughly studied, but it is not known if or how the association between mortality and body mass index (BMI), waist circumference or a body shape index (ABSI) differ in strata of cardiometabolic health status.<p> <p>Methods - We linked data on 12,815 men and women aged 36–79 years from the SAMINOR 1 Survey with mortality data ... -
Relationships between metabolic markers and obesity measures in two populations that differ in stature - The SAMINOR Study
Michalsen, Vilde Lehne; Braaten, Tonje; Kvaløy, Kirsti; Melhus, Marita; Broderstad, Ann Ragnhild (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-02-03)<i>Background</i> - The relationships between metabolic markers and obesity measures may differ by ethnicity, sex, and height. Questions have been posed whether these relationships differ by ethnicity in the population in Northern Norway, but this has not been explored yet.<p><p> <i>Objectives</i> - Investigate the relationships between metabolic markers and obesity measures in Sami and non‐Sami ... -
Sex-specific height-correction of weight in a population with ethnic groups that differ in stature - the SAMINOR 1 Survey: a cross-sectional study
Michalsen, Vilde Lehne; Coucheron, David Andre; Kvaløy, Kirsti; Melhus, Marita (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-12-07)Background: Body mass index (BMI, weight/height2) is a common proxy for body fatness, but it is negatively correlated with height. In Norway, the ethnic Sami people have had higher BMI and lower height than their non-Sami peers. This article aimed to examine if previous findings of higher obesity measures in Sami compared to non-Sami persist when applying an adequately height-corrected weight ...
