(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)People with a lower socioeconomic status have an increased risk of premature cardiovascular and all-cause mortality, compared with those with a higher socioeconomic status.1 2 To maintain a sustainable workforce, a better ... -
Chronic hip and knee pain in parents and theiradult offspring: family linkage data from the HUNT study
Fjeld, Mats Kirkeby (Master thesis, 2014)Background: Pain is a complex subjective sensation and is considered to be a huge global health concern. Several studies have suggested pain and chronic pain to cluster within families, but these studies have mainly focused ... -
Clustering of Physical Behaviour Profiles using Knowledge-intensive Similarity Measures
Verma, Deepika; Bach, Kerstin; Mork, Paul Jarle (Chapter, 2020)In this paper, we reuse the Case-Based Reasoning model presented in our last work (Verma et al., 2018) to create a new knowledge intensive similarity-based clustering method that clusters a case base such that the intra-cluster ... -
Comparison of physical behavior estimates from three different thigh-worn accelerometers brands: A proof-of-concept for the Prospective Physical Activity, Sitting, and Sleep consortium (ProPASS)
Crowley, Patrick; Skotte, Jørgen; Stamatakis, Emmanuel; Hamer, Mark; Aadahl, Mette; Stevens, Matthew L.; Rangul, Vegar; Mork, Paul Jarle; Holtermann, Andreas (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Background: Pooling data from thigh-worn accelerometers across multiple studies has great potential to advance evidence on the health benefits of physical activity. This requires harmonization of information on body postures, ... -
Daytime stress, shoulder/neck-pain, and the relation to nocturnal heart rate variability
Davidsen, Roar Oskar (Master thesis, 2011)Stress and musculoskeletal pain (MSP) may affect the regulation of the autonomic nervous system. Earlier studies have revealed that subjects with MSP show reduced heart rate variability (HRV) during sleep indicating an ... -
