Abdominal aortic aneurysm is an asymptomatic condition with a high mortality rate related to rupture.In cohort of 2035 men and 2310 women in Tromsø, Norway, who were 25 82 years old 1994, the authors identified risk factors for incident abdominal over next 7 years. The impact smoking was studied particular. Ultrasound examination performed initially 1994/1995 repeated 2001. There 119 cases aneurysms (an incidence 0.4% per year). Male sex increasing age strong factors. In addition, following...
Background and Purpose — The incidence of falls among noninstitutionalized individuals with long-standing stroke has not been examined previously, although fractures are more common the consequences severe for patients than elderly people in general. Methods For 4 months (September to December 1998), we followed 111 home-living who had suffered a mean 10 years previously 143 control subjects randomly selected from same municipality, matched respect age sex. Falls were registered daily by use...
The objective was to examine the association of physical activity and resting heart rate (RHR) with hospital-diagnosed atrial fibrillation (AF) in a Norwegian cohort. This prospective study included 20 484 adults (50.3% men) who participated third Tromsø Study survey 1986–87. At baseline, assessed by validated questionnaire, RHR objectively measured. Participants were followed from baseline through 2010 respect incident cases AF documented on an electrocardiogram. During mean follow-up...

Albuminuria, which is associated with noncardiovascular mortality, might be a result of altered vascular permeability caused by cytokines and other tumor cell products. The aim this population-based, longitudinal study was to examine whether elevated albumin-to-creatinine ratio (ACR) cancer incidence. A total 5425 participants without diabetes or previous in the Tromsø Study were followed; 590 had first diagnosis during 10.3 yr follow-up. ACR at baseline significantly correlated incidence...
Background Little is known about the relationship between age at menarche and total mortality from ischaemic heart disease stroke.
To provide a synopsis of the sixth survey Tromsø Study, 6, objectives and new target areas, study design, follow-up studies, data collection, attendance, participant characteristics.The initiated in 1974, is an epidemiological, prospective health conditions chronic diseases, resource for surveillance disease risk factors. The purpose 6 (2007-08) was to collect novel repeated measurements exposure assess levels included main that comprised two screening visits several studies. Main...
<h3>Background</h3> The impact of body mass index (BMI; kg/m<sup>2</sup>) and waist circumference (WC) on mortality in elderly individuals is controversial previous research has largely focused obesity. <h3>Methods</h3> With special attention to the lower BMI categories, associations between both total cause-specific were explored 7604 men 9107 women aged ≥65 years who participated Tromsø Study (1994–1995) or North-Trøndelag Health (1995–1997). A Cox proportional hazards model adjusted for...
Objective: The authors investigated transitions to schizophrenia spectrum or bipolar disorder following different types of substance-induced psychosis and the impact gender, age, number emergency admissions related psychosis, type on such transitions. Methods: All patients in Norwegian Patient Registry with a diagnosis from 2010 2015 were included (N=3,187). Kaplan-Meier method was used estimate cumulative transition rates either disorder. Cox proportional hazard regression ratios for...
Since the late 1970s, psychiatric service system in Norway has been changed gradually according to principles of deinstitutionalisation.To document mortality patients a deinstitutionalised system.The case register hospital covering period 1980-1992 was linked Central Register Deaths. Age-adjusted death rates and standardised ratios (SMRs) were computed.Patients with organic disorders had significantly higher regardless cause death. SMRs ranged from 0.9 for by cancer women 36.3 suicide men....
Osteoporosis and stroke share several risk factors, including age, smoking, low physical activity, hypertension. Thus, bone mineral density (BMD) high may be related. We examined the relationship between BMD acute in noninstitutionalized men women aged >/=60 years.Sixty-three patients (33 30 men) 188 control subjects from general population were included. was measured by using dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry at both proximal femurs. The measurements of performed 6 days after onset...
Abstract —Atherosclerosis begins early in life and is the major underlying cause of cardiovascular morbidity death. Yet, population-based information on age sex differences extent morphology atherosclerosis throughout scarce. Carotid can be visualized with B-mode ultrasound a marker elsewhere circulation. We assessed both prevalence carotid by 3016 men 3404 women, 25 to 84 years old, who participated population health survey. The participation rate was 88%. Plaque graded according whether...
The pathogenesis of abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) formation is poorly understood. We investigated the relationship between carotid, femoral, and coronary atherosclerosis diameter, whether was a risk marker for AAA.Ultrasound right carotid artery, common femoral aorta performed in 6446 men women from general population. burden assessed as total plaque area, lumen self-reported heart disease. An AAA defined maximal infrarenal diameter > or =30 mm. No dose-response found <27 However,...
To explore the association between risk of malnutrition as well current body mass index (BMI) and health-related quality life (HRQoL) in elderly men women from general population.In a cross-sectional population survey including 1,632 1,654 aged 65 to 87 years municipality Tromsø, Norway, we assessed HRQoL by using EuroQol (EQ-5D) instrument three groups different categories BMI. The Malnutrition Universal Screening Tool ('MUST') was used evaluate malnutrition.We found significant reduction...
Active smoking is a well-established risk factor for myocardial infarction, but less known about the impact of passive smoking, and possible sex differences in related to smoking. We investigated active as factors infarction an 11-year follow-up 11,762 men 13,206 women included Tromsø Study. There were total 769 453 incident cases women, respectively. found linear age-adjusted relationships between both incidence sexes. The seem be stronger than men. Age-adjusted analyses indicated...
To investigate the association between echocardiographic measurements with emphasis on diastolic dysfunction and risk of atrial fibrillation (AF) in a population-based cohort study.We followed 2406 participants from Tromsø Study 1994 to 2010. Left (LA) size mitral Doppler indices as measured by echocardiography were used for evaluating dysfunction. Information concerning age, systolic blood pressure, height, heart rate, body mass index, total high-density lipoprotein cholesterol,...
Objective To examine whether individuals with schizophrenia ( SCZ ) or bipolar disorder BD had equal likelihood of not being diagnosed cardiovascular disease CVD prior to death, compared without . Methods Multivariate logistic regression analysis including nationwide data 72 451 deaths in the years 2011–2016. Of these, 814 a diagnosis and 673 primary specialist health care. Results Individuals were 66% more likely OR : 1.66; 95% CI 1.39–1.98), women 38% (adjusted 1.38; 1.04–1.82), men...
