• Anti-osteoporosis drug use: too little, too much, or just right? The HUNT study, Norway 

      Hoff, Mari; Skurtveit, Svetlana; Meyer, Haakon E; Langhammer, Arnulf; Søgaard, Anne-Johanne; Syversen, Unni; Skovlund, Eva; Abrahamsen, Bo; Forsmo, Siri; Schei, Berit (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)
      Summary Use of anti-osteoporotic drugs (AODs) was examined in a Norwegian population 50–85 years. Among them with Fracture Risk Assessment Tool (FRAX) score for major osteoporotic fracture ≥ 20, 25% of the women and 17% ...
    • Does treatment with bisphosphonates protect against fractures in real life? The HUNT study, Norway 

      Hoff, Mari; Skovlund, Eva; Meyer, Haakon E; Langhammer, Arnulf; Søgaard, Anne-Johanne; Syversen, Unni; Holvik, Kristin; Abrahamsen, Bo; Schei, Berit (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)
      Summary Bisphosphonates reduce fractures in randomized controlled trials (RCT); however, there is less information from real life. In our population including 14,990 women and 13,239 men, use of bisphosphonates reduced ...
    • Impact of Total Hip Replacements on the Incidence of Hip Fractures in Norway During 1999–2019. A Norwegian Epidemiologic Osteoporosis Studies (NOREPOS) Study 

      Kjeldgaard, Helena Kames; Meyer, Haakon Eduard; O’Flaherty, Martin; Apalset, Ellen Margrete; Dahl, Cecilie; Emaus, Nina; Fenstad, Anne Marie; Furnes, Ove Nord; Gjertsen, Jan-Erik; Hoff, Mari; Schei, Berit; Søgaard, Anne-Johanne; Tell, Grethe Seppola; Holvik, Kristin (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)
      The knowledge about why hip fracture rates in Norway have declined is sparse. Concurrent with decreasing hip fracture rates, the rates of total hip replacements (THRs) have increased. We wanted to investigate if hip fracture ...
    • Proton pump inhibitors and fracture risk. The HUNT study, Norway. 

      Hoff, Mari; Skovlund, Eva; Skurtveit, Svetlana; Meyer, Haakon E; Langhammer, Arnulf; Søgaard, Anne-Johanne; Syversen, Unni; Forsmo, Siri; Abrahamsen, Bo; Schei, Berit (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)
      Summary Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) have been linked to increased risk of fracture; the data have, however, been diverging. We did not find any increased risk of fractures among users of PPIs in a Norwegian population ...
    • 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; Peer reviewed, 2019)
      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 ...
    • Validation of FRAX and the impact of self-reported falls among elderly in a general population: the HUNT study, Norway 

      Hoff, Mari; Meyer, Haakon E; Skurtveit, Svetlana; Langhammer, Arnulf; Søgaard, Anne-Johanne; Syversen, Unni; Dhainaut, Alvilde; Skovlund, Eva; Abrahamsen, B; Schei, Berit (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)
      Summary Fracture Risk Assessment Tool (FRAX) without bone mineral density (BMD) for hip fracture prediction was validated in a Norwegian population 50–90 years. Fracture risk increased with higher FRAX score, and the ...
