      The role of miR-24-1-5p and its prognostic implications associated with prostate cancer are mainly unknown. In a population-based cohort, the Prostate Cancer Study throughout life (PROCA-life), all men had a general health examination at study entry and were followed between 1994 and 2016. Patients with available tissue samples after a prostatectomy with curative intent were identified (n = 189). ...
    • Physical activity and blood pressure. A cross-sectional review 

      Støyten, Martin (Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2017-09-19)
      Background: Hypertension is known as a major risk factor for cardiovascular disease, and the world-wide prevalence of hypertension is expected to rise to 30 % by the end of 2025. Physical activity has been shown to be a major part of the conservative treatment of hypertension, although the nature of the dose-response relationship is not known. The purpose of this study was to examine the associations ...
    • Systolic and diastolic blood pressure, prostate cancer risk, treatment, and survival. The PROCA-life study 

      Stikbakke, Einar; Schirmer, Henrik; Knutsen, Tore; Støyten, Martin; Wilsgaard, Tom; Giovannucci, Edward L.; McTiernan, Anne; Eggen, Anne Elise; Haugnes, Hege Sagstuen; Richardsen, Elin; Thune, Inger (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-12-22)
      Background: Inflammation has been linked to prostate cancer and hypertension, but it remains equivocal whether elevated blood pressure (BP) influence prostate cancer risk and survival.<p> <p>Method: Using Cox regression models, we examined the association between prediagnostic BP and prostate cancer risk among 12,271 men participating in the Prostate Cancer throughout life (PROCA-life) study. ...
