Strand, Bjørn Heine; Cooper, Rachel; Bergland, Astrid; Jørgensen, Lone; Schirmer, Henrik; Skirbekk, Vegard; Emaus, Nina (Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2016)Background Grip strength has consistently been found to predict all-cause mortality rates. However, few studies have examined cause-specific mortality or tested age differences in these associations. Methods In 1994, ...

Hauger, Annette Vogt; Bergland, Astrid; Holvik, Kristin; Emaus, Nina; Strand, Bjørn Heine (Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2020)Abstract Purpose Low bone mineral density (BMD) is associated with increased risk of fractures and mortality. We investigated if rate of BMD loss in the distal forearm over seven years predicted mortality. Methods 1725 ...

Strand, Bjørn Heine; Bergland, Astrid; Jørgensen, Lone; Schirmer, Henrik; Emaus, Nina; Cooper, Rachel (Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2018)Background: Evidence pertaining to whether more recent born generations of adults reaching old age have better physical capability than previous generations is scarce and inconclusive. We aimed to investigate birth cohort ...

Kjeldgaard, Helena Kames; Meyer, Haakon Eduard; O’Flaherty, Martin; Apalset, Ellen Margrete; Dahl, Cecilie; Emaus, Nina; Fenstad, Anne Marie; Furnes, Ove Nord; Gjertsen, Jan-Erik; Hoff, Mari; Schei, Berit; Søgaard, Anne-Johanne; Tell, Grethe Seppola; Holvik, Kristin (Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2022)The knowledge about why hip fracture rates in Norway have declined is sparse. Concurrent with decreasing hip fracture rates, the rates of total hip replacements (THRs) have increased. We wanted to investigate if hip fracture ...

Hauger, Annette Vogt; Holvik, Kristin; Bergland, Astrid; Ståhle, Agneta; Emaus, Nina; Morseth, Bente; Strand, Bjørn Heine (Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2021)Since muscles can influence bone growth and vice versa, we examined if level of physical activity and physical capability tests can predict areal bone mineral density (aBMD). Both high activity level and good test performance ...

Solbakken, Siri Marie; Magnus, Jeanette H.; Meyer, Haakon E; Dahl, Cecilie; Stigum, Hein; Søgaard, Anne-Johanne; Holvik, Kristin; Tell, Grethe S.; Emaus, Nina; Forsmo, Siri; Gjesdal, Clara Gram; Schei, Berit; Vestergaard, Peter; Omsland, Tone Kristin (Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2019)Higher hip fracture incidence in urban than in rural areas has been demonstrated, but urban–rural differences in posthip fracture mortality have been less investigated, and the results are disparate. Hence, the aims of the ...
