Can 'early programming' be partly explained by smoking? Results from a prospective, population-based cohort study
(Wiley, 2015-01)
Background: Numerous studies have focused the association between low birthweight and later disease. Our objective was to study the association between birthweight and later adult smoking and thereby explore a possible ...
Time trends and educational inequalities in out-of-hospital coronary deaths in Norway 1995-2009: A Cardiovascular Disease in Norway (CVDNOR) project
(American Heart Association, 2017-02)
Background: Recent time trends and educational gradients characterizing out‐of‐hospital coronary deaths (OHCD) are poorly described.
Methods and Results: We identified all deaths from coronary heart disease occurring ...
Smoking, plasma cotinine and risk of atrial fibrillation: the Hordaland Health Study
(Wiley, 2018-01)
Background: Cigarette smoking has been identified as a major modifiable risk factor for coronary heart disease and mortality. However, findings on the relationship between smoking and atrial fibrillation (AF) have been ...
Heart Failure Complicating Acute Myocardial Infarction; Burden and Timing of Occurrence: A Nation-wide Analysis Including 86 771 Patients From the Cardiovascular Disease in Norway (CVDNOR) Project
(Wiley, 2016)
Background: Coronary heart disease (CHD) represents often the underlying conditions for the development of heart failure (HF). We aimed at exploring the burden and timing of HF complicating an acute myocardial infarction ...
High population attributable fractions of myocardial infarction associated with waist-hip ratio
(Wiley, 2016-05)
Objective: To estimate population attributable fractions (PAF) of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) associated with anthropometric measures by sex and age.
Methods: The Cohort of Norway study identified 140,790 participants ...
Dietary predictors of plasma total homocysteine concentration in the Hordaland Homocysteine Study
(Cambridge University Press, 2007)
Established dietary predictors of plasma total homocysteine (tHcy) include folate, riboflavin, and vitamins B6 and B12, while information is scarce regarding other dietary components. The aim of this study was to examine ...
Interferon-γ–induced inflammatory markers and the risk of cancer: The Hordaland Health Study
(Wiley, 2014-06-19)
Background It has been reported that interferon-γ (IFN-γ)–induced inflammatory markers, such as circulating neopterin and kynurenine-to-tryptophan ratio (KTR), are increased in patients with cancer and ...
Periconceptional Folic Acid Supplementation and Infant Risk of Congenital Heart Defects in Norway 1999-2009
(John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2015-07-24)
Background
The birth prevalence of congenital heart defects (CHDs) has decreased in Canada and Europe. Recommended intake of folic acid in pregnancy is a suggestive risk-reducing factor for CHDs. We investigated the ...
Smoking and body fat mass in relation to bone mineral density and hip fracture: The Hordaland Health Study
(PLoS, 2014-03-25)
Lower bone mineral density (BMD) in smokers may be attributable to lower body weight or fat mass, rather than to a direct effect of smoking. We analyzed the effects of smoking exposure, assessed by plasma cotinine, and ...
Educational inequalities in acute myocardial infarction incidence in Norway: A nationwide cohort study
(PLoS, 2014-09-04)
Background Increasing differences in cardiovascular disease (CVD) mortality across levels of education have been reported in Norway. The aim of the study was to investigate educational inequalities in acute myocardial ...
