      Borgen, Tove Tveitan; Bjørnerem, Åshild; Solberg, Lene Bergendal; Andreasen, Camilla; Figved, Wender; Hübschle, Lars Michael; Stenbro, May-Britt; Basso, Trude; Dahl, cecilie; Stutzer, Jens-Meinhard; Frihagen, Frede; Eriksen, Erik Fink; Nordsletten, Lars; Hansen, Ann Kristin; Apalset, Ellen Margrete; Gjertsen, Jan Erik; Lund, Ida (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)
      Summary - Determinants of trabecular bone score (TBS) and vertebral fractures assessed semiquantitatively (SQ1–SQ3) were studied in 496 women with fragility fractures. TBS was associated with age, parental hip fracture, ...
    • 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 ...
    • Elevated blood pressure, antihypertensive medications and bone health in the population: revisiting old hypotheses and exploring future research directions 

      Canoy, D.; Harvey, Nicholas C.; Prieto-Alhambra, Daniel; Cooper, Cyrus; Meyer, H.E.; Åsvold, B.O.; Nazarzadeh, M.; Rahimi, Kazem (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)
      Blood pressure and bone metabolism appear to share commonalities in their physiologic regulation. Specific antihypertensive drug classes may also influence bone mineral density. However, current evidence from existing ...
    • 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 ...
