      <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 

      Ariansen, Inger; Strand, Bjørn Heine; Kjøllesdal, Marte Karoline Råberg; Steingrímsdóttir, Ólöf Anna; Mortensen, Laust Hvas; Stigum, Hein; Graff-Iversen, Sidsel; Næss, Øyvind (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-01-28)
      <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 ...
    • Expired carbon dioxide during newborn resuscitation as predictor of outcome

      <i>Aim</i> - To explore and compare expired CO<sub>2</sub> (ECO<sub>2</sub>) and heart rate (HR), during newborn resuscitation with bag-mask ventilation, as predictors of 24-h outcome.<br><br> <i>Methods</i> - Observational study from March 2013 to June 2017 in a rural Tanzanian hospital. Side-stream measures of ECO<sub>2</sub>, ventilation parameters, HR, clinical information, and 24-h outcome ...
    • Increased risk of atrial fibrillation among elderly Norwegian men with a history of long-term endurance sport practice 

      Myrstad, Marius; Løchen, Maja-Lisa; Graff-Iversen, Sidsel; Gulsvik, Anne Kristine; Thelle, Dag Steinar; Stigum, Hein; Ranhoff, Anette Hylen (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2013-11-21)
      Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common cardiac arrhythmia. The prevalence increases with increasing age. In middle-aged men, endurance sport practice is associated with increased risk of AF but there are few studies among elderly people. The aim of this study was to investigate the role of long-term endurance sport practice as a risk factor for AF in elderly men. A crosssectional study ...
    • Pain tolerance after stroke: The Tromsø study 

      Melum, Tonje Anita; Årnes, Anders; Stigum, Hein; Stubhaug, Audun; Steingrímsdóttir, Ólöf Anna; Mathiesen, Ellisiv B.; Nielsen, Christopher Sivert (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel, 2023-05-11)
      Background: Stroke lesions might alter pain processing and modulation by affecting the widely distributed network of brain regions involved. We aimed to compare pain tolerance in stroke survivors and stroke-free persons in the general population, with and without chronic pain.<p> <p>Methods: We included all participants of the sixth and seventh wave of the population-based Tromsø Study who had ...
    • Rapport fra seksualvaneundersøkelsene i 1987, 1992, 1997 og 2002 

      Træen, Bente; Stigum, Hein; Magnus, Per (Research report; Forskningsrapport, 2003)
      Bakgrunn Kunnskap om befolkningens seksualvaner er nødvendig for å forstå, forutsi og forebygge spredning av seksuelt overførbare sykdommer slik som HIV/AIDS, klamydia, humant papilloma virus og herpes. Videre er slik kunnskap viktig for å forebygge uønskede svangerskap. På denne bakgrunn har Nasjonalt folkehelseinstitutt (fram til 2002 Folkehelsa) med 5 års mellomrom gjennomført undersøkelser for ...
    • Urban–Rural Differences in Hip Fracture Mortality: A Nationwide NOREPOS Study 

      Solbakken, Siri Marie; Magnus, Jeanette H.; Meyer, Haakon E; Dahl, Cecilie; Stigum, Hein; Søgaard, Anne-Johanne; Holvik, Kristin; Tell, Grethe S.; Emaus, Nina; Forsmo, Siri; Gjesdal, Clara Gram; Schei, Berit; Vestergaard, Peter; Omsland, Tone Kristin (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-09-09)
      Higher hip fracture incidence in urban than in rural areas has been demonstrated, but urban–rural differences in posthip fracture mortality have been less investigated, and the results are disparate. Hence, the aims of the present register‐based cohort study were to examine possible urban–rural differences in short‐ and long‐term mortality in Norwegian hip fracture patients and their potential ...
