Adaptation, psychometric properties and factor structure of the Spanish Quality in Psychiatric Care-Outpatient Staff (QPC-OPS) instrument
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Quality of care is a multidimensional concept that should include the perspectives of all parties involved. There are few instruments with adequate psychometric properties for the assessment of the quality of psychiatric ... -
Assessing short-term risk of ischemic stroke in relation to all prescribed medications
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)We examined the short-term risk of stroke associated with drugs prescribed in Norway or Sweden in a comprehensive, hypothesis-free manner using comprehensive nation-wide data. We identified 27,680 and 92,561 cases with a ... -
The association between body mass index, abdominal fatness, and weight change and the risk of adult asthma: a systematic review and meta-analysis of cohort studies
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Obesity has been associated with increased risk of adult asthma, however, not all studies have found a clear association between overweight and the incidence of asthma, and data on other adiposity measures have been limited. ... -
Asthma and asthma symptom control in relation to incidence of lung cancer in the HUNT study
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Large prospective studies on asthma, especially asthma symptom control, as a potential risk factor for lung cancer are limited. We followed up 62,791 cancer-free Norwegian adults from 1995–1997 to 2017. Self-reported ... -
Blood pressure and mortality: using offspring blood pressure as an instrument for own blood pressure in the HUNT study
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2015)Given that observational associations may be inaccurate, we used offspring blood pressure (BP) to provide alternative estimates of the associations between own BP and mortality. Observational associations between BP and ... -
Clustering and trajectories of key noncommunicable disease risk factors in Norway: the NCDNOR project
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) are a leading cause of premature death globally and have common preventable risk factors. In Norway, the NCDNOR-project aims at establishing new knowledge in the prevention of NCDs by combining ... -
The commensal infant gut meta-mobilome as a potential reservoir for persistent multidrug resistance integrons
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2015)Despite the accumulating knowledge on the development and establishment of the gut microbiota, its role as a reservoir for multidrug resistance is not well understood. This study investigated the prevalence and persistence ... -
A cross-sectional study of inflammatory markers as determinants of circulating kynurenines in the Lung Cancer Cohort Consortium
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Circulating concentrations of metabolites (collectively called kynurenines) in the kynurenine pathway of tryptophan metabolism increase during inflammation, particularly in response to interferon-gamma (IFN-γ). Neopterin ... -
Culture dependent and independent analyses suggest a low level of sharing of endospore-forming species between mothers and their children
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Spore forming bacteria comprise a large part of the human gut microbiota. However, study of the endospores in gut microbiota is limited due to difficulties of culturing and numerous unknown germination factors. In this ... -
Diversity of vaginal microbiota increases by the time of labor onset
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)Vaginal microbiota is an important early source of bacterial colonization for newborns. However, only a few small studies have investigated the composition of vaginal microbiota during labor. In this work, we analyzed ... -
Effect of high-fat diet and morning or evening exercise on lipoprotein subfraction profiles: secondary analysis of a randomised trial
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023) -
The effect of long-term poor sleep quality on risk of back-related disability and the modifying role of physical activity
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Sleep problems and regular leisure time physical activity (LTPA) are interrelated and have contrasting effects on risk of back pain. However, no studies have investigated the influence of long-term poor sleep quality on ... -
Epigenome-wide methylation differences in a group of lean and obese women – A HUNT Study
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)Knowledge of epigenetically regulated biomarkers linked to obesity development is still scarce. Improving molecular understanding of the involved factors and pathways would improve obesity phenotype characterization and ... -
Explaining sex differences in risk of bloodstream infections using mediation analysis in the population-based HUNT study in Norway
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Previous studies indicate sex differences in incidence and severity of bloodstream infections (BSI). We examined the effect of sex on risk of BSI, BSI mortality, and BSI caused by the most common infecting bacteria. Using ... -
Gene expression in blood reflects smoking exposure among cancer-free women in the Norwegian Women and Cancer (NOWAC) postgenome cohort
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Active smoking has been linked to modulated gene expression in blood. However, there is a need for a more thorough understanding of how quantitative measures of smoking exposure relate to differentially expressed genes ... -
Genetic risk score associations for myocardial infarction are comparable in persons with and without rheumatoid arthritis: the population-based HUNT study
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Persons with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) have increased risk of myocardial infarction (MI). Overlapping associations with MI of weighted genetic risk scores (wGRS) for coronary artery disease (CAD) and RA is unknown in a ... -
Hypertension and the risk of endometrial cancer: A systematic review and meta-analysis of case-control and cohort studies
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)A history of hypertension has been associated with increased risk of endometrial cancer in several studies, but the results have not been consistent. We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of case-control and ... -
Impact of the APOBEC3A/B deletion polymorphism on risk of ovarian cancer
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)A germline 29.5-kb deletion variant removes the 3’ end of the APOBEC3A gene and a large part of APOBEC3B, creating a hybrid gene that has been linked to increased APOBEC3 activity and DNA damage in human cancers. We genotyped ... -
Increased expression of individual genes in whole blood is associated with late-stage lung cancer at and close to diagnosis
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Lung cancer (LC) mortality rates are still increasing globally. As survival is linked to stage, there is a need to identify markers for earlier LC diagnosis and individualized treatment. The whole blood transcriptome of ... -
