Women's Experiences With Mammography Screening Through 6 Years of Participation—A Longitudinal Qualitative Study
In this article we explore women's experiences with 6 years of mammography screening. Regular and repeated mammography screening is promoted as an important tool for disease prevention among women worldwide. The purpose of the present study was to explore how continued participation in screening influences how women perceive screening and breast cancer. We carried out focus groups with 24 screening participants in 2003 and 2009. Our analysis high…
A prospective population-based cohort study of lactation and cardiovascular disease mortality: The Hunt study
Excess cardiovascular mortality rates were observed among parous women younger than 65 years who had never lactated. These findings support the hypothesis that lactation may have long-term influences on maternal cardiovascular health
Risk categorisation through standard deviations – the challenge of bone density measurements: A focus group study among women attending the Nord-Trøndelag Health Study (Hunt)
Bone density measurements play an important part in the categorisation of osteoporosis as a risk factor in modern medicine. According to the World Health Organization, people are categorised as having osteoporosis when their bone mineral density (BMD) value is 2.5 standard deviation (SD) below the young adult mean value, and as having osteopenia when the value lies between one and 2.5 SDs below the young adult mean value. The categorisation accor…
Mammography screening and trust: The case of interval breast cancer
Experiences of Recall After Mammography Screening—A Qualitative Study
Women participating in biannual mammography screening for 20 years have a cumulative risk of 20% of being recalled. We conducted a prospective qualitative interview study with eight nonsymptomatic women recalled after mammography screening. These women expressed mixed emotions over being recalled. Information about recall rates and breast cancer risk was seen as alarming, and cancer risk estimates were seen by some as high. The short time between…
Brittle bones, pain and fractures - Lay constructions of osteoporosis among Norwegian women attending the Nord-Trøndelag Health Study (Hunt)
Focus Groups in a Medicine-Dominated Field: Compromises or Quality Improvements
Mammography screening has traditionally been viewed as a field for medical research. The medical science discourse, however, is highly quantitative, and its claims for validity somewhat opposed to those of qualitative research. To communicate research in a cross-disciplinary field, it is necessary to adapt one's research to several paradigms. The authors conducted focus group interviews with women due to be screened in a national breast cancer sc…
Healthy Postmenopausal Women–Physical Activity and Forearm Bone Mineral Density: The Nord-Trøndelag Health Survey
UNLABELLED: The aim of this study was to analyze the association between Physical Activity (PA) and forearm bone mineral density (BMD) in healthy postmenopausal women. During 1984-1986, a population-based health survey (HUNT-1) was conducted in Nord-Trøndelag county, Norway. The second follow-up survey (HUNT-2) was conducted during 1995-1997. The subjects consist of all healthy postmenopausal women (N = 2,924). Higher intensity of recreational PA…
