Environmental factors, metabolic profile, hormones and breast and endometrial cancer risk
(Doctoral thesis; Doktorgradsavhandling, 2004)Breast cancer is the leading cancer among women in the Western world. In Norway, 2,503 cases of female breast cancer were diagnosed in 2000, which corresponds to an age-adjusted incidence rate of 72.1 per 100,000 women per year (1). The risk of breast cancer increases with age from puberty, doubling about every 10 years until the menopause, when the rate of increase slows dramatically and a ... -

Evaluation of the One Health-Ness of 20 Years of Antimicrobial Resistance Surveillance in Norway
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-06-21)We evaluated the One Health-ness (OH-ness) of the surveillance system for antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in Norway by using the recently developed “Evaluation tool for One Health epidemiological surveillance capacities and capabilities” (OH–EpiCap tool). First, we defined the Norwegian AMR surveillance system that we would evaluate. The tool was applied by a group of stakeholders (key persons in the ... -
Explaining sex differences in risk of bloodstream infections using mediation analysis in the population-based HUNT study in Norway
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-05-19)Previous studies indicate sex differences in incidence and severity of bloodstream infections (BSI). We examined the effect of sex on risk of BSI, BSI mortality, and BSI caused by the most common infecting bacteria. Using causal mediation analyses, we assessed if this effect is mediated by health behaviours (smoking, alcohol consumption), education, cardiovascular risk factors (systolic blood pressure, ... -
Exposure to perfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) and dyslipidemia, hypertension and obesity in adolescents : the Fit Futures study
