Background Lolland-Falster is the area of Denmark with highest mortality. However, clinical measurements from a population-based health survey showed prevalence disease indicators similar to those in rest Denmark. The study aimed disentangle this paradox. Methods Health Study (LOFUS) took place 2016–2020. We followed 53 000 invited persons up for mortality invitation date 1 February 2023. Log-binomial regression was used calculate relative risk (RR) non-participation versus participation...
Objectives The purposes of the present study were to determine association between (1) 10 individual biomarkers and all-cause mortality; (2) allostatic load (AL), across three physiological systems (cardiovascular, inflammatory, metabolic) mortality. Design Prospective cohort study. Setting We used data from Lolland-Falster Health Study undertaken in Denmark 2016–2020 on systolic blood pressure (SBP) diastolic (DBP), pulse rate (PR), waist–hip ratio (WHR) levels low-density lipoprotein...
Aims Low blood oxygen saturation is associated with increased mortality and persons diabetes have sub-clinical hypoxemia. We aimed to confirm the presence of hypoxemia in pre-diabetes, screen-detected known diabetes. Methods Pre-diabetes was defined as hemoglobin A1C (HbA 1C ) ≥ 42 mmol/mol <48 mmol/mol; history or treatment diabetes; no HbA 48 mmol/mol. Blood measured pulse oximetry. Urine albumin-to creatinine ratio (UACR) on a single spot urine. Results The study included 829...
Objectives: The aim was to determine the association between self-reported health (SRH), allostatic load (AL) and mortality. Methods: Data derived from Lolland-Falster Health Study undertaken in Denmark 2016–2020 ( n = 14,104). Median follow-up time for death 4.6 years where 456 participants died. SRH assessed with a single question AL by an index of ten biomarkers. Multinomial regression analysis were used examine AL, Cox explore SRH, Results: risk high increased decreasing level SRH. ratio...
Objectives The aim of this study was to examine population-based allostatic load (AL) indices as an indicator community health across 14 municipalities in Denmark. Design Register-based study. Setting Data derived from: the Lolland-Falster Health Study, Copenhagen General Population Study and Danish Suburban Study. Nine biomarkers (systolic blood pressure, diastolic pulse rate, total serum cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein waist-to-hip ratio, triglycerides, C-reactive protein albumin)...
<title>Abstract</title> Aim To descripe the use of analgesics and psychotropic medication, common medical diseases, alcohol consumption in adult persons living a rural-provincial area Denmark. Methods Using cross-sectional data from Lolland-Falster Health Study (LOFUS), we examined total 16,084 individuals aged 18 years above. Data on consumption, somatic psychiatric diseases were obtained self-administered questionnaires. Results At time survey, 23.4% subjects reported daily/almost daily...
