    • Cross-sectional associations between prevalent vertebral fracture and pulmonary function. The sixth Tromso Study 

      Morseth, Bente; Melbye, Hasse; Waterloo, Svanhild Haugnes; Thomassen, Marte Renate; Risberg, Marijke Jongsma; Emaus, Nina (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2013)
      Persons with vertebral fracture may have reduced pulmonary function, but this association has not been much studied. The aim of this cross-sectional study was therefore to examine the relationship between vertebral fracture and pulmonary function in a general, elderly population. Vertebral morphometry was used for vertebral fracture assessment in 2132 elderly men (n = 892) and women (n = 1240) aged ...

    • Effects of Interventions to Prevent Work-Related Asthma, Allergy, and Other Hypersensitivity Reactions in Norwegian Salmon Industry Workers (SHInE): Protocol for a Pragmatic Allocated Intervention Trial and Related Substudies 

      Höper, Anje Christina; Kirkeleit, Jorunn; Thomassen, Marte Renate; Irgens-Hansen, Kaja; Hollund, Bjørg Eli; Fagernæs, Carl Fredrik; Svedahl, Sindre Rabben; Eriksen, Thor Eirik; Grgic, Miriam; Bang, Berit (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-05-07)
      Background: Workers in the salmon processing industry have an increased risk of developing respiratory diseases and other hypersensitivity responses due to occupational exposure to bioaerosols containing fish proteins and microorganisms, and related allergens. Little is known about effective measures to reduce bioaerosol exposure and about the extent of skin complaints among workers. In addition, ...

    • Exposure to Bioaerosols during Fish Processing on Board Norwegian Fishing Trawlers 

      Heidelberg, Cecilie Thon; Bang, Berit; Thomassen, Marte Renate; Kamath, Sandip D.; Ruethers, Thimo; Lopata, Andreas L.; Madsen, Anne Mette; Sandsund, Mariann; Aasmoe, lisbeth (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-06-10)
      Objectives - The main objective was to gain more knowledge on exposure to bioaerosols in the processing area on board fishing trawlers.<p> <p>Methods - Exposure sampling was carried out during the work shifts when processing fish in the processing area on board five deep-sea fishing trawlers (trawlers 1–5). Exposure samples were collected from 64 fishermen breathing zone and from stationary ...

    • Lung function and prevalence of respiratory symptoms in Norwegian crab processing workers 

      Thomassen, Marte Renate; Aasmoe, Lisbeth; Bang, Berit E.; Braaten, Tonje (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2017-04-20)
      Background: Seafood processing workers have an increased risk of developing occupational asthma. This has not been studied among Norwegian crab processing workers, nor has the respiratory health of exposed workers been compared to a control group. <br>Objectives: Assessing the impact of working in the crab processing industry on workers ’ respiratory health. <br>Design: A cross-sectional study ...

    • Occupational Allergic Sensitization Among Workers Processing King Crab (Paralithodes camtschaticus) and Edible Crab (Cancer pagurus) in Norway and Identification of Novel Putative Allergenic Proteins 

      Thomassen, Marte Renate; Bang, Berit; Aasmoe, Lisbeth (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-08-23)
      Introduction: Asthma and allergy occur frequently among seafood processing workers, with the highest prevalence seen in the crustacean processing industry. In this study we established for the first time the prevalence of allergic sensitization in the Norwegian king- and edible crab processing industry and characterized the IgE-reactive proteins.<p> <p>Materials and Methods: Two populations of ...

    • Occupational Exposure to Bioaerosols in Norwegian Crab Processing Plants 

      Thomassen, Marte Renate; Kamath, Sandip D.; Lopata, Andreas L.; Madsen, Anne Mette; Eduard, Wijnand; Bang, Berit; Aasmoe, Lisbeth (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel, 2016-05-28)
      Introduction: <br> Aerosolisation of components when processing king crab (Paralithodes camtschaticus) and edible crab (Cancer pagurus) may cause occupational health problems when inhaled by workers. <br> Methods: <br> A cross-sectional study was carried out in three king crab plants and one edible crab plant. Personal exposure measurements were performed throughout work shifts. Air was ...

    • Occupational exposure, respiratory health and sensitisation among crab processing workers. A study among processors of king crab (Paralithodes camtschaticus) and edible crab (Cancer pagurus) in Norwegian land based crab processing plants. 

      Thomassen, Marte Renate (Doctoral thesis; Doktorgradsavhandling, 2017-11-10)
      Occupational asthma and allergy are health problems found in the seafood processing industry. The aim of this thesis was to investigate the exposure to central components in bioaerosols collected in the breathing zone of crab processing workers, and explore the workers’ prevalence of respiratory symptoms and sensitisation to crustacean allergens. This thesis describes the exposure levels of total ...

    • Self-reported traffic-related air pollution and respiratory symptoms among adults in an area with modest levels of traffic 

      Hegseth, Marit Nøst; Oftedal, Bente Margaret; Höper, Anje Christina; Aminoff, Anna Louise; Thomassen, Marte Renate; Svendsen, Martin Veel; Fell, Anne Kristin Møller (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-12-12)
      Health effects of traffic-related air pollution (TRAP) concentrations in densely populated areas are previously described. However, there is still a lack of knowledge of the health effects of moderate TRAP levels. The aim of the current study, a population-based survey including 16 099 adults (response rate 33%), was to assess the relationship between TRAP estimates and respiratory symptoms in an ...
