      <p><b>Background:</b> Various indicators of childhood socioeconomic position have been related to cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk in adulthood. We investigated the impact of shared family factors on the educational gradient in midlife CVD risk factors by assessing within sibling similarities in the gradient using a discordant sibling design.</p> <p><b>Methods:</b> Norwegian health survey data ...
    • The educational gradient in premature cardiovascular mortality: Examining mediation by risk factors in cohorts born in the 1930s, 1940s and 1950s

      <i>Aims</i>: Educational inequality in cardiovascular disease and in modifiable risk factors changes over time and between birth cohorts. We aimed to assess how cardiovascular disease risk factors mediate educational differences in premature cardiovascular disease mortality and how this varies over birth cohorts and sex.<p> <p><i>Methods</i>: We followed 360,008 40–45-year-olds born in the ...

      <i>Background</i> - The aim of this study was to examine the association of a family history of cancer with the risk of testicular cancer in young adults.<p><p> <i>Methods</i> - This is a prospective cohort study including 1,974,287 males born 1951–2015, of whom 2686 were diagnosed with TC before the age of 30.<p><p> <i>Results</i> - A history of TC in male relatives was significantly ...
    • A population-based study of testicular cancer risk among children and young adults from Norway and Utah, USA. 

      Kollerud, Ruby Del Risco; Haugnes, Hege Sagstuen; Claussen, Bjørgulf; Thoresen, Magne; Nafstad, Per; Farnham, James; Blaasaas, Karl Gerhard; Næss, Øyvind; Cannon-Albright, Lisa A. (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-03-06)
      Similar family-based cancer and genealogy data from Norway and Utah allowed comparisons of the incidence of testicular cancer (TC), and exploration of the role of Scandinavian ancestry and family history of TC in TC risk. Our study utilizes data from the Utah Population Database and Norwegian Population Registers. All males born during 1951–2015 were followed for TC until the age of 29 years. A total ...
    • Total and cause-specific standardized mortality ratios in patients with schizophrenia and/or substance use disorder 

      Heiberg, Ina Heidi; Jacobsen, Bjarne K.; Nesvåg, Ragnar; Bramness, Jørgen Gustav; Reichborn-Kjennerud, Ted; Næss, Øyvind; Ystrøm, Eivind; Hultman, Christina M; Høye, Anne (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-08-23)
      Individuals with schizophrenia or substance use disorder have a substantially increased mortality compared to the general population. Despite a high and probably increasing prevalence of comorbid substance use disorder in people with schizophrenia, the mortality in the comorbid group has been less studied and with contrasting results. We performed a nationwide open cohort study from 2009 to 2015, ...
    • Undiagnosed cardiovascular disease prior to cardiovascular death in individuals with severe mental illness
