    • Coffee consumption and the risk of Venous Thromboembolism – The Tromsø study 

      Enga, Kristin (Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2011-11-01)
      Background: Several studies have investigated the association between coffee consumption and cardiovascular disease, but little is known about coffee intake and risk of venous thromboembolism (VTE). Objective: The aim of this prospective cohort study was to investigate the association between coffee consumption and risk of incident VTE in a general population. Methods: Information about coffee ...

    • Hyperglycemia, Assessed by HbA1c, and Future Risk of Venous Thromboembolism - The Tromsø Study 

      Lerstad, Gunhild; Brodin, Ellen Elisabeth; Enga, Kristin; Jorde, Rolf; Schirmer, Henrik; Njølstad, Inger; Svartberg, Johan; Brækkan, Sigrid Kufaas; Hansen, John-Bjarne (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2014-03-05)
      Background: Glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c), a marker of average plasma glucose during the last 8-12 weeks, is associated with future risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) and all-cause mortality. Objectives: To examine the association between hyperglycemia, assessed by HbA1c, and future risk of VTE in a population based cohort. Methods: HbA1c was measured in 16 156 unique subjects (25-87 years) ...

    • Impact of incident venous thromboembolism on risk of arterial thrombotic diseases 

      Lind, Caroline; Flinterman, Linda E.; Enga, Kristin; Severinsen, Marianne T; Kristensen, Søren R; Brækkan, Sigrid Kufaas; Mathiesen, Ellisiv B.; Njølstad, Inger; Cannegieter, Suzanne C.; Overvad, Kim; Hansen, John-Bjarne (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2013-11-22)
      BACKGROUND: Growing evidence supports an association between venous thromboembolism (VTE) and arterial thrombotic diseases (ie, myocardial infarction and ischemic stroke). We aimed to study the association between VTE and future arterial events and to determine the population attributable risk of arterial events by VTE in a large prospective cohort recruited from the general population. METHODS AND ...

    • Lifestyle and venous thromboembolism : a review 

      Enga, Kristin; Hansen-Krone, Ida Johanne (Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2011-09-15)
      Abstract Introduction: The relationship between arterial cardiovascular disease (CVD) and venous thromboembolism (VTE) is debated. The knowledge about lifestyle as a risk factor for CVD is substantial, while there are few conclusions are reached on the association between lifestyle and VTE. The aim of this review was to assess whether known cardiovascular lifestyle risk factors also are associated ...
