A Prospective Population Study of Resting Heart Rate and Peak Oxygen Uptake (the HUNT Study, Norway)
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2012)Objectives: We assessed the prospective association of resting heart rate (RHR) at baseline with peak oxygen uptake (VO2peak) 23 years later, and evaluated whether physical activity (PA) could modify this association. ... -
Actigraphic assessment of motor activity in acutely admitted inpatients with bipolar disorder
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2014)Introduction: Mania is associated with increased activity, whereas psychomotor retardation is often found in bipolar depression. Actigraphy is a promising tool for monitoring phase shifts and changes following treatment ... -
Association between Laboratory Capacities and World-cup Performance in Nordic Combined
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)Background Nordic combined (NC) is an Olympic winter-sport performed as a ski jumping (SJ) event followed by a cross-country (XC) pursuit race employing the skating style. Purpose To elucidate the associations ... -
Association of body mass index with depression, anxiety and suicide - An instrumental variable analysis of the HUNT study
(Journal article, 2015)Objective: While high body mass index is associated with an increased risk of depression and anxiety, cumulative evidence indicates that it is a protective factor for suicide. The associations from conventional observational ... -
Birth Weight in Relation to Leisure Time Physical Activity in Adolescence and Adulthood: Meta-Analysis of Results from 13 Nordic Cohorts
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2009-12-16)Prenatal life exposures, potentially manifested as altered birth size, may influence the later risk of major chronic diseases through direct biologic effects on disease processes, but also by modifying adult behaviors such ... -
Cortical hand bone porosity and its association with distal radius Fracture in middle aged and elderly women
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2013)Objective: Reduced bone mineral density (BMD), assessed by Dual Energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA), is a well-known risk factor for fragility fracture. A large proportion of patients with fracture have only slightly ... -
Do abnormal serum lipid levels increase the risk of chronic low back pain? The Nord-Trøndelag Health Study
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2014)Background: Cross-sectional studies suggest associations between abnormal lipid levels and prevalence of low back pain (LBP), but it is not known if there is any causal relationship. Objective: The objective was to ... -
Do family and neighbourhood matter in secondary school completion? A multilevel study of determinants and their interactions in a life-course perspective
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)Background Completion of secondary education is important for individuals’ future health and health behaviour. The fundamental purpose of this study is to investigate the variation and clustering of school completion ... -
Do incident musculoskeletal complaints influence mortality? The Nord-Trøndelag Health study
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)Background Musculoskeletal complaints (MSC) are common in the general population, causing a major disease burden to the individual and society. The association between MSC and mortality is still unclear. To our knowledge, ... -
Effects of upper-body sprint-interval training on strength and endurance capacities in female cross-country skiers
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)This study compared the effects of adding upper-body sprint-intervals or continuous double poling endurance training to the normal training on maximal upper-body strength and endurance capacity in female cross-country ... -
Electromyographic comparison of the barbell deadlift using constant versus variable resistance in healthy, trained men
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Variable, external resistance is proposed to increasingly augment the muscular stress throughout a dynamic movement. However, it is uncertain how different levels of variable resistance affect the activation in the deadlift. ... -
