• A Comparison Between Office Blood Pressure Measurements and Ambulatory Blood Pressure Measurements in the Healthy Middle-Aged General Population 

      Småbrekke, Silje (Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2019-05-29)
      Background: Ambulatory blood pressure measurements are frequently lower compared to office measurements. Our aims were to investigate the relationship between office blood pressure measurements and ambulatory measurements and to quantify the difference between the two methods. Methods: This study included 1608 participants aged 50 – 62 years from the municipality of Tromsø, Norway. Office blood ...
    • Low-grade impairments in cognitive and kidney function in a healthy middle-aged general population: a cross-sectional study 

      Småbrekke, Silje; Schirmer, Henrik; Melsom, Toralf; Solbu, Marit Dahl; Eriksen, Bjørn Odvar (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-05-14)
      <p><i>Background - </i>Although the relationship between manifest chronic kidney disease and reduced cognitive function is well established, limited data exists on GFR and cognitive function in the general population. Both the brain and kidneys have low-impedance vascular beds, rendering them susceptible to damage from pulsatile blood flow. An association between mildly reduced GFR and cognitive ...
