Self-management is crucial in the daily management of type 2 diabetes. It has been suggested that mHealth may be an important method for enhancing self-management when delivered combination with health counseling.The objective this study was to test whether use a mobile phone-based system used 1 year, or without telephone counseling by diabetes specialist nurse first 4 months, could improve glycated hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) level, self-management, and health-related quality life compared usual...
The International Association of Diabetes and Pregnancy Study Groups (IADPSG) recently proposed new criteria for diagnosing gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM). We compared prevalence rates, risk factors, the effect ethnicity using World Health Organization (WHO) modified IADPSG criteria.This was a population-based cohort study 823 (74% eligible) healthy pregnant women, whom 59% were from ethnic minorities. Universal screening performed at 28±2 weeks gestation with 75 g oral glucose...
Self-management support for people with type 2 diabetes is essential in care. Thus, mobile health technology or without low-intensity theory-based counseling could become an important tool promoting self-management.The aim was to evaluate whether the introduction of technology-supported self-management using Few Touch Application (FTA) diary improved glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) levels, self-management, behavioral change, and health-related quality life, describe sociodemographic, clinical,...
Depression in pregnancy increases the risk of complications for mother and child. Few studies are done ethnic minorities. We wanted to identify prevalence depression associations with ethnicity other factors. Population-based, prospective cohort 749 pregnant women (59% minorities) attending primary antenatal care during early Oslo between 2008 2010. Questionnaires covering demographics, health problems psychosocial factors were collected through interviews. was defined as a sum score ≥ 10 by...
The difference in diabetes susceptibility by ethnic background is poorly understood. aim of this study was to assess the association between adiposity and four minority groups compared with Norwegians, take into account confounding socioeconomic position. Data from questionnaires, physical examinations serum samples were analysed for 30-to 60-year-olds population-based cross-sectional surveys Norwegians immigrant groups, comprising 4110 subjects born Norway (n = 1871), Turkey 387), Vietnam...
To investigate ethnic differences in vitamin D levels during pregnancy, assess risk factors for deficiency and explore the effect of supplementation women with early pregnancy. This is a population-based, multiethnic cohort study pregnant attending Child Health Clinics antenatal care Oslo, Norway. Serum-25-hydroxyvitamin [25(OH)D] was measured 748 (59 % minorities) at gestational weeks (GW) 15 (SD:3.6) 28 (1.4). Women 25(OH)D <37 nmol/L GW were ethical reasons recommended D3 supplementation....
Objective To assess changes in insulin resistance and β-cell function a multiethnic cohort of women Oslo, Norway, from early to 28 weeks' gestation 3 months post partum relate the findings gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM). Method Population-based study 695 healthy pregnant Western Europe (41%), South Asia (25%), Middle East (15%), (6%) elsewhere (13%). Blood samples demographics were recorded at mean 15 (V1) (V2) (V3). Universal screening was by 75 g oral glucose tolerance test V2, GDM...
To describe ethnic differences in concentrations of lipids and lipoproteins, their changes, during pregnancy to postpartum.This was a population-based cohort study conducted primary antenatal care Norway. The participants (n = 806) were healthy, pregnant women, 59% minorities. Outcomes triglycerides, total cholesterol, HDL- LDL-cholesterol, analysed from fasting blood samples drawn at gestational age (weeks) 15, 28 14 weeks postpartum. We performed linear regression models mixed explore the...
Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) and obesity may cause adverse pregnancy outcomes for mothers offspring. We have set up a research programme to identify predictors GDM fetal growth in multiethnic population Oslo improve the identification of high risk pregnancies reduce short long-term offspring.To present rationale, methods, study participation rates.Population-based cohort pregnant women attending Child Health Clinics (CHC) Groruddalen, Oslo, their Questionnaire data, blood pressure,...
This study aims to identify novel markers for gestational diabetes (GDM) in the biochemical profile of maternal urine using NMR metabolomics. It also catalogs general effects pregnancy and delivery on profile. Urine samples were collected at three time points (visit V1: week 8-20; V2: 28±2; V3 10-16 weeks post partum) from participants STORK Groruddalen program, a prospective, multiethnic cohort 823 healthy, pregnant women Oslo, Norway, analyzed (1)H-NMR spectroscopy. Metabolites identified...
To estimate the prevalence of vitamin D deficiency (25(OH)D) <50 nmol/L among recently arrived immigrants from Africa and Asia in Oslo, to explore 25(OH)D levels according origin, gender age.A cross-sectional study.Primary healthcare unit Norway, offering family immigrants, asylum seekers, United Nations (UN) refugees or individuals granted a free medical examination on arrival.All African Asian countries (n=591) referred Centre Migrant Health, Health Agency, Norway 2010, estimated cover 60%...
Objective The aim of this study was to investigate stages change for physical activity and dietary habits using baseline data from persons with type 2 diabetes included in a mobile health intervention. We examined the associations between change, each behavior individual characteristics, health-related quality life, self-management, depressive symptoms, lifestyle. Research design methods 151 an glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) level ≥7.1%, aged ≥18 years at randomized controlled trial, before...
Maternal glucose and lipid levels are associated with neonatal anthropometry of the offspring, also independently maternal body mass index (BMI). Gestational weight gain, however, is often not accounted for. The objective was to explore whether effects on offspring's birth subcutaneous fat were independent early pregnancy BMI mid-gestational gain.In a population-based, multi-ethnic, prospective cohort 699 women their anthropometrics collected in gestational week 15 28. fasting plasma lipids,...
We investigated associations between serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D) in pregnancy and birth weight other neonatal anthropometric measures. The present study was a population-based, multiethnic cohort of 719 pregnant women (59 % ethnic minorities) Oslo, Norway, delivering singleton neonate at term with measurements. In representative sample, measurements were taken. Maternal 25(OH)D measured gestational weeks 15 28. Women <37 nmol/l recommended vitamin D3 supplementation. Separate linear...
Abstract Background Few studies have explored the association between DNA methylation and physical activity. The aim of this study was to evaluate objectively measured hours sedentary behavior (SB) moderate activity (MPA) with methylation. We further aimed explore SB or MPA related CpG sites cardiometabolic traits, gene expression, genetic variation. Results For discovery, we performed cross sectional analyses in pregnant women from Epigenetics pregnancy (EPIPREG) sample both (Illumina...
The aim was to assess the net effects on risk factors for type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease of a community-based 3-year intervention increase physical activity.A pseudo-experimental cohort design used compare changes in from an control district with similar socioeconomic status Oslo, Norway, using baseline investigation 2,950 30- 67-year-old participants follow-up 1,776 (67% those eligible, 56% women, 18% non-Western immigrants) participants.
