    • Cross-sectional associations between prevalent vertebral fracture and pulmonary function. The sixth Tromso Study 

      Morseth, Bente; Melbye, Hasse; Waterloo, Svanhild Haugnes; Thomassen, Marte Renate; Risberg, Marijke Jongsma; Emaus, Nina (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2013)
      Persons with vertebral fracture may have reduced pulmonary function, but this association has not been much studied. The aim of this cross-sectional study was therefore to examine the relationship between vertebral fracture and pulmonary function in a general, elderly population. Vertebral morphometry was used for vertebral fracture assessment in 2132 elderly men (n = 892) and women (n = 1240) aged ...

    • Important risk factors and attributable risk of vertebral fractures in the population-based Tromsø study 

      Waterloo, Svanhild Haugnes; Ngyen, T; Ahmed, Luai A.; Center, J; Morseth, Bente; Ngyen, ND; Eisman, John A.; Søgaard, Anne Johanne; Emaus, Nina (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2012)
      Vertebral fractures, the most common type of osteoporotic fractures, are associated with increased risk of subsequent fracture, morbidity, and mortality. The aim of this study was to examine the contribution of important risk factors to the variability in vertebral fracture risk. Vertebral fracture was ascertained by VFA method (DXA, GE Lunar Prodigy) in 2887 men and women, aged between 38 and 87 ...

    • Prevalence of vertebral fractures in women and men in the population-based Tromsø Study 

      Waterloo, Svanhild Haugnes; Ahmed, Luai A.; Center, Jacqueline; Eisman, John A.; Morseth, Bente; Nguyen, Nguyen D.; Nguyen, Tuan; Søgaard, Anne Johanne; Emaus, Nina (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2012)
      Osteoporotic vertebral fractures are, as the hip fractures, associated with increased morbidity and mortality. Norway has one of the highest reported incidences of hip fractures in the world. Because of methodological challenges, vertebral fractures are not extensively studied. The aim of this population based study was to describe, for the first time, the age- and sex specific occurrence of ...

    • Vertebral fractures and self-perceived health in elderly women and men in a population-based cross-sectional study: the Tromsø Study 2007-08 

      Waterloo, Svanhild Haugnes; Søgaard, Anne Johanne; Ahmed, Luai Awad; Damsgård, Elin; Morseth, Bente; Emaus, Nina (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2013)
      Health-related quality of life (HRQL) may be associated with increased mortality in the elderly. The effect of prevalent vertebral fractures on HRQL in elderly women and men is not well described. The purpose of this study was to examine the association between prevalent vertebral fractures and back pain, neck pain, and HRQL in elderly women and men, and to study possible gender differences in the ...

    • Vertebral fractures: Prevalence, risk factors, and health-related quality of life. A cross-sectional study The Tromsø study 2007/2008 

      Waterloo, Svanhild Haugnes (Doctoral thesis; Doktorgradsavhandling, 2013-11-08)
      Summary Background: Osteoporotic fractures constitute a major health burden in western societies. Forearm, vertebral-, and hip fractures are the most common types. Norway has the highest reported prevalence of forearm- and hip fractures. Little data has been available concerning vertebral fractures, although these, together with the hip fractures, are associated with increased morbidity ...
