Retrospectively reported childhood adversity is associated with asthma and chronic bronchitis, independent of mental health
Sheikh, Mashhood Ahmed (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-09-13)Several researchers have raised the concern that the cross-sectional association of retrospectively reported childhood adversity with self-reported onset of asthma and chronic bronchitis in adulthood may be confounded, as well as mediated by an individual's mental health. The aim of this study was to assess the effect of retrospectively reported childhood adversity on self-reported onset of asthma ... -

Recent genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified genetic variants associated with SCZ and immune-related phenotypes. Here, we use cutting edge statistical tools to identify shared genetic variants between SCZ and white blood cell (WBC) counts and further understand the role of the immune system in SCZ.<p> <p>Study ... -

We hypothesized that CAMs would be dysregulated in SMI and evaluated plasma levels of different vascular and ... -
Test–retest reliability of self-reported diabetes diagnosis in the Norwegian Women and Cancer Study: A population-based longitudinal study (n = 33,919)
Sheikh, Mashhood Ahmed; Lund, Eiliv; Braaten, Tonje (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2016-01-21)Objective: Self-reported information from questionnaires is frequently used in epidemiological studies, but few of these studies provide information on the reproducibility of individual items contained in the questionnaire. We studied the test– retest reliability of self-reported diabetes among 33,919 participants in Norwegian Women and Cancer Study. Methods: The test–retest reliability of ... -
