    • Overall lifestyle changes in adulthood are associated with cancer incidence in the Norwegian Women and Cancer Study (NOWAC) - a prospective cohort study 

      Chen, Sairah Lai Fa; Nøst, Therese Haugdahl; Botteri, Edoardo; Ferrari, Pietro; Braaten, Tonje; Sandanger, Torkjel M; Borch, Kristin Benjaminsen (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel, 2023-04-03)
      <p><i>Background:</i> Cancer is a leading cause of premature death worldwide and incidence is expected to rise in the coming decades. Many cohort studies, measuring lifestyle factors at one time-point, have observed that overall healthy lifestyles were inversely related to cancer incidence. However, there is little knowledge on the impact of lifestyle modification within adulthood. <p><i>Methods:</i> ...

    • Physical activity and blood gene expression profiles: the Norwegian Women and Cancer (NOWAC) Post-genome cohort 

      Olsen, Karina Standahl; Lukic, Marko; Borch, Kristin Benjaminsen (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-06-11)
      <i>Objectives</i> - The influence of physical activity (PA) on the immune system has emerged as a new field of research. Regular PA may promote an anti-inflammatory state in the body, thus contributing to the down-regulation of pro-inflammatory processes related to the onset and progression of multiple diseases. We aimed to assess whether overall PA levels were associated with differences in blood ...

    • Physical activity and cutaneous melanoma risk: A Norwegian population-based cohort study 

      Perrier, Flavie; Ghiasvand, Reza; Lergenmuller, Simon; Robsahm, Trude Eid; Green, Adele C.; Borch, Kristin Benjaminsen; Sandanger, Torkjel M; Weiderpass, Elisabete; Rueegg, Corina Silvia; Veierød, Marit Bragelien (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-04-20)
      Physical activity (PA) is an important factor in cancer prevention, but positive association between PA and risk of cutaneous melanoma found in recent studies may complicate this strategy. Ultraviolet radiation (UVR) exposure during outdoor PA is a plausible explanation for a positive association. We investigated the associations between PA, UVR and melanoma risk in the Norwegian Women and Cancer ...

    • Physical activity and mortality among Norwegian women : the Norwegian Women and Cancer Study 

      Borch, Kristin Benjaminsen; Braaten, Tonje; Lund, Eiliv; Weiderpass, Elisabete (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2011)
      Physical activity (PA) and its relationship with all-cause mortality suggest a strong and consistent inverse association. This study prospectively investigated the association between PA level and mortality among participants of the Norwegian Women and Cancer (NOWAC) Study. A total of 66,136 NOWAC participants were followed-up until December 31st 2008. PA level and possible confounding factors ...

    • Physical activity and risk of endometrial cancer in the Norwegian Women and Cancer (NOWAC) study 

      Borch, Kristin Benjaminsen; Weiderpass, Elisabete; Braaten, Tonje; Jareid, Mie; Gavrilyuk, Oxana; Licaj, Idlir (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2017-01-20)
      Few studies have investigated the association between endometrial cancer and physical activity (PA) using repeated measures of PA and different subtypes of endometrial cancer. We aimed to investigate the association between endometrial cancer and PA level at two points in time in women with different body mass index (BMI) profiles, and to calculate the population attributable fraction (PAF) of ...

    • Physical activity before and after breast cancer diagnosis and survival - the Norwegian women and cancer cohort study 

      Borch, Kristin Benjaminsen; Braaten, Tonje; Lund, Eiliv; Weiderpass, Elisabete (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2015-12-16)
      Background: The main aim of this study was to investigate pre- and post-diagnostic physical activity (PA) levels, as well as changes in pre- and post-diagnostic PA levels, and their association with all-cause and breast cancer-specific mortality in women with breast cancer. Our study will add to the knowledge on whether a modifiable behavior such as PA can improve survival. <p>Methods: We included ...

    • Physical activity in Sami and non-Sami populations in rural Northern Norway, the SAMINOR 2 Clinical Survey 

      Borch, Kristin Benjaminsen; Eliassen, Bent Martin; Melhus, Marita; Damsgård, Elin; Broderstad, Ann Ragnhild (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-09-14)
      Background - The Sami people is an indigenous minority population living in the northern parts of Norway and mainly in rural areas. We lack data of contemporary levels of physical activity (PA) in rural regions of Northern Norway and in the Sami population in particular. We aimed to describe the PA levels and investigate whether PA levels differs between Sami and non-Sami and between coastal and ...

    • Physical activity patterns and the risk of colorectal cancer in the Norwegian Women and Cancer study: A population-based prospective study 

      Oyeyemi, Sunday Oluwafemi; Braaten, Tonje; Licaj, Idlir; Lund, Eiliv; Borch, Kristin Benjaminsen (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-12-04)
      <p><I>Introduction</I>: Colorectal cancer (CRC) remains the second most common cancer in women worldwide. Physical activity (PA) has been associated with reduced risk of CRC; however, this has been demonstrated more consistently in men, while results of studies in women have been largely equivocal. We aimed to further examine the relationship between PA patterns and the risk of CRC in women, using ...

    • Physical activity, mortality and breast cancer risk 

      Borch, Kristin Benjaminsen (Doctoral thesis; Doktorgradsavhandling, 2013-03-21)
      4. Avhandlingen tar for seg effekten av fysisk aktivitet i forhold til total dødelighet, hjerte-kar og kreft dødelighet og risiko for brystkreft, samt validerer selv-rapportert fysisk aktivitet i Kvinner – og Kreft studien. Vi sammenlignet en fysisk aktivitetsskala fra 1 til 10, der deltagerne ble bedt om å krysse av fysisk aktivitetsnivå, med en sensor som målte puls og bevegelse over 4 døgn. ...

      Skeie, Guri; Mode, Nicolle; Henningsen, Maria; Borch, Kristin Benjaminsen (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2015-07-02)
      Background: Body mass index (BMI) based on self-reported height and weight has been criticized as being biased because of an observed tendency for overweight and obese people to overestimate height and underestimate weight, resulting in higher misclassification for these groups. We examined the validity of BMI based on self-reported values in a sample of Norwegian women aged 44–64 years. Methods: ...
