    • 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 ...

    • Pre-diagnostic DNA methylation in blood leucocytes in cutaneous melanoma; a nested case–control study within the Norwegian Women and Cancer cohort 

      Page, Christian Magnus; Nøst, Therese Haugdahl; Djordjilović, Vera; Thoresen, Magne; Frigessi, Arnoldo; Sandanger, Torkjel M; Veierød, Marit Bragelien (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-08-20)
      The prognosis of cutaneous melanoma depends on early detection, and good biomarkers for melanoma risk may provide a valuable tool to detect melanoma development at a pre-clinical stage. By studying the epigenetic profile in pre-diagnostic blood samples of melanoma cases and cancer free controls, we aimed to identify DNA methylation sites conferring melanoma risk. DNA methylation was measured at ...

    • Reproductive factors and risk of melanoma: a population-based cohort study 

      Støer, Nathalie Charlotte; Botteri, Edoardo; Ghiasvand, Reza; Busund, Marit Katinka; Vangen, Siri; Lund, Eiliv; Veierød, Marit Bragelien; Weiderpass, Elisabete (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-02-12)
      <i>Background</i> - The association between reproductive factors and risk of cutaneous melanoma (CM) is unclear. We investigated this issue in the Norwegian Women and Cancer cohort study.<p> <p><i>Objectives</i> - To examine the association between the reproductive factors age at menarche, menstrual cycle length, parity, age at first and last birth, menopausal status, breastfeeding duration and ...

    • Risk of Ischemic Stroke and Total Cerebrovascular Disease in Familial Hypercholesterolemia 

      Hovland, Anders; Mundal, Liv; Igland, Jannicke; Veierød, Marit Bragelien; Holven, Kirsten Bjørklund; Bogsrud, Martin Prøven; Tell, Grethe S.; Leren, Trond Paul; Retterstøl, Kjetil (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-11-21)
      <p><i>Background and Purpose</i>: Familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) is a common autosomal dominant disease leading to increased level of serum LDL (low-density lipoprotein) cholesterol and risk of coronary heart disease. Whether FH increases the risk of cerebrovascular disease, including ischemic stroke, is debated. Accordingly, we studied the incidence of cerebrovascular disease in a cohort of ...

    • Sunscreens With High Versus Low Sun Protection Factor and Cutaneous Squamous Cell Carcinoma Risk: A Population-Based Cohort Study 

      Lergenmuller, Simon; Ghiasvand, Reza; Robsahm, Trude Eid; Green, Adèle C.; Lund, Eiliv; Rueegg, Corina Silvia; Veierød, Marit Bragelien (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-08-11)
      Evidence on sunscreen use and cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (cSCC) risk is limited. Most studies have not taken sun protection factor (SPF) into consideration and used nonusers of sunscreen as the reference group. Nonusers are likely a priori at lower cSCC risk than users. No study has investigated the effect of high- versus low-SPF sunscreens on cSCC, appropriately adjusting for time-varying ...

    • Use of skincare products and risk of cancer of the breast and endometrium: a prospective cohort study 

      Rylander, Charlotta; Veierød, Marit Bragelien; Weiderpass, Elisabete; Lund, Eiliv; Sandanger, Torkjel M (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-12-03)
      <i>Background</i> - Concerns have been raised that extensive use of personal care products that contain endocrine disrupting compounds increase the risk of hormone sensitive cancers.<p> <p><i>Objective</i> - To assess the effect of skincare product use on the risk of pre- and postmenopausal breast cancer, estrogen receptor positive (ER+) and negative (ER-) breast cancer and cancer of the ...

    • Women’s conceptual knowledge about breast cancer screening and overdiagnosis in Norway: a cross-sectional study 

      Tsuruda, Kaitlyn; Veierød, Marit Bragelien; Houssami, Nehmat; Wåde, Gunvor Gipling; Mangerud, Gunhild; Hofvind, Solveig (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-12-14)
      Objective To investigate conceptual knowledge about mammographic screening among Norwegian women. Design We administered a cross-sectional, web-based survey. We used multiple-choice questions and a grading rubric published by a research group from Australia. Setting Our Norwegian-language survey was open from April to June 2020 and targeted women aged 45–74 years. Participants 2033 women ...
