Health-related quality of life in young adults born small for gestational age: a prospective cohort study
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-03-24)Background: Individuals born small for gestational age (SGA) have an increased risk of several adverse health outcomes, but their health-related quality of life (HRQoL) across young adulthood has yet to be studied. The main aim of this study was to investigate if being born SGA at term is associated with poor HRQoL at 32 years of age. A second aim was to explore longitudinal changes in HRQoL from ... -
Glacially Induced Stress Across the Arctic From the Eemian Interglacial to the Present—Implications for Faulting and Methane Seepage
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-06-28)Strong compressive and shear stresses generated by glacial loading and unloading have a direct impact on near-surface geological processes. Glacial stresses are constantly evolving, creating stress perturbations in the lithosphere that extend significant distances away from the ice. In the Arctic, periodic methane seepage and faulting have been recurrently associated with glacial cycles. However, ... -
Sex steroids, bone loss and non-vertebral fractures in women and men : the Tromsø study
(Doctoral thesis; Doktorgradsavhandling, 2007)When this thesis was planned in 2000-2001 it was well known that bone loss accelerates after menopause, and is prevented by using hormone replacement therapy (HRT).

Distribution in the unit tangent bundle of the geodesics of given type
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-01-24)Recall that two geodesics in a negatively curved surface S are of the same type if their free homotopy classes differ by a homeomorphism of the surface. In this note we study the distribution in the unit tangent bundle of the geodesics of fixed type, proving that they are asymptotically equidistributed with respect to a certain measure mS on T 1S. We study a few properties of this measure, showing ... -
