    • Pre-diagnostic body mass index and weight change in relation to colorectal cancer survival among incident cases from a population-based cohort study 

      Laake, Ida; Larsen, Inger Kristin; Selmer, Randi; Thune, Inger; Veierød, Marit Bragelien (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2016-07-07)
      Background:<br> Whether excess body weight influences colorectal cancer (CRC) survival is unclear. We studied pre-diagnostic body mass index (BMI) and weight change in relation to CRC-specific mortality among incident CRC cases within a large, Norwegian cohort.<br> Methods:<br> Participants’ weight was measured at health examinations up to three times between 1974 and 1988. CRC cases were ...

    • Prevalence and population structure of Staphylococcus aureus nasal carriage in healthcare workers in a general population. The Tromsø Staph and Skin Study 

      Olsen, Karina; Sangvik, Maria; Simonsen, Gunnar Skov; Sollid, Johanna U Ericson; Sundsfjord, Arnfinn; Thune, Inger; Furberg, Anne-Sofie (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2013)
      Healthcare workers (HCWs) may be a reservoir for Staphylococcus aureus transmission to patients. We examined whether HCW status is associated with S. aureus nasal carriage and population structure (spa types) in 1302 women (334 HCWs) and 977 men (71 HCWs) aged 30–69 years participating in the population-based Tromsø Study in 2007–2008. Multivariable logistic regression models were used. While no ...

    • Staphylococcus aureus nasal carriage is associated with serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D levels, gender and smoking status. The Tromso Staph and Skin Study 

      Olsen, Karina; Falch, Birgit Margrethe; Danielsen, Kjersti; Johannessen, Mona; Sollid, Johanna U Ericson; Thune, Inger; Grimnes, Guri; Jorde, Rolf; Simonsen, Gunnar Skov; Furberg, Anne-Sofie (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2012)
      Vitamin D induces the expression of antimicrobial peptides with activity against Staphylococcus aureus. Thus, we studied the association between serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D) and S. aureus nasal colonization and carriage. Nasal swabs, blood samples and clinical data from 2,115 women and 1,674 men, aged 30–87 years, were collected in the Tromsø Staph and Skin Study 2007–08, as part of the ...

    • Systolic and diastolic blood pressure, prostate cancer risk, treatment, and survival. The PROCA-life study 

      Stikbakke, Einar; Schirmer, Henrik; Knutsen, Tore; Støyten, Martin; Wilsgaard, Tom; Giovannucci, Edward L.; McTiernan, Anne; Eggen, Anne Elise; Haugnes, Hege Sagstuen; Richardsen, Elin; Thune, Inger (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-12-22)
      Background: Inflammation has been linked to prostate cancer and hypertension, but it remains equivocal whether elevated blood pressure (BP) influence prostate cancer risk and survival.<p> <p>Method: Using Cox regression models, we examined the association between prediagnostic BP and prostate cancer risk among 12,271 men participating in the Prostate Cancer throughout life (PROCA-life) study. ...

    • Validation of repeated self-reported n-3 PUFA intake using serum phospholipid fatty acids as a biomarker in breast cancer patients during treatment 11 Medical and Health Sciences 1112 Oncology and Carcinogenesis 

      Brunvoll, Sonja Hjellegjerde; Thune, Inger; Frydenberg, Hanne; Flote, Vidar Gordon; Bertheussen, Gro Falkener; Schlichting, Ellen; Bjerve, Kristian S; Hjartåker, Anette (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018)
      <p><i>Background</i>: The role of n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) in breast cancer is not clear and under debate. To explore this relationship it is important to have proper validated dietary assessment methods for measuring the intake of n-3 PUFAs. The aim of the current study is to validate two different methods used to assess the intake of selected n-3 PUFAs as well as food sources of ...
