  • Smoking history and all-cause, ischaemic heart disease and lung cancer mortality

    Aage Tverdal, Randi Selmer et al.ARTICLETobacco Control2023

    The mortality among quitters was close to that of never smokers, except for a higher mortality for lung cancer, which on the other hand was much lower than the lung cancer mortality in current smokers

  • Association of Cardiometabolic Multimorbidity With Mortality

    Open AccessEmanuele Di Angelantonio, Stephen Kaptoge et al.ARTICLEJAMA2015

    IMPORTANCE The prevalence of cardiometabolic multimorbidity is increasing. OBJECTIVE To estimate reductions in life expectancy associated with cardiometabolic multimorbidity. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS Age-and sex-adjusted mortality rates and hazard ratios (HRs) were calculated using individual participant data from the Emerging Risk Factors Collaboration (689 300 participants; 91 cohorts; years of baseline surveys: 1960-2007; latest morta…

  • Ethnic inequalities in acute myocardial infarction and stroke rates in Norway 1994–2009

    Open AccessKjersti Stormark Rabanal, Randi Selmer et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2015

    Preventive measures should be aimed at reducing the excess numbers of CVD among immigrants from South Asia and Former Yugoslavia

  • No increase in new users of blood glucose-lowering drugs in Norway 2006–2011

    Open AccessHanne Strøm, Randi Selmer et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2014

    In this nationwide study, we found that although the prevalent use of OAD had increased in recent years, incident use was stable or had decreased. This may indicate that the increase in diabetes occurrence in Norway is levelling off, at least temporarily

  • Response rates and selection problems, with emphasis on mental health variables and DNA sampling, in large population-based, cross-sectional and longitudinal studies of adolescents in Norway

    Open AccessEspen Bjertne, Espen Bjertness et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2010

    Lost to follow-up had marginal impact on the estimated prevalence ratios. It is not likely that the invitation to provide DNA influenced the response rates of 18/19 year olds. Non-western ethnicity, male gender and characteristics related to a low social class and general and mental health problems measured at baseline are associated with lost to follow-up and failure to provide DNA

  • The association between weekly hours of physical activity and mental health

    Open AccessÅse Sagatun, Aase Sagatun et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2007

    Weekly hours of physical activity at age 15-16 years was weakly associated with mental health at three-year follow-up in boys. Results encourage a search for further knowledge about physical activity as a possible protective factor in relation to mental health problems in adolescence

  • Psychosocial factors and distress

    Open AccessHammad Raza Syed, ODD STEFFEN DALGARD et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2006

    Poor social support and economic conditions are important mediators of mental health among immigrants. The public health recommendations/interventions should deal with both the economic conditions and social support system of immigrant communities simultaneously

  • The Oslo Health Study

    Open AccessAnne Johanne Søgaard, Randi Selmer et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal for Equity…2004

    BACKGROUND: Research on health equity which mainly utilises population-based surveys, may be hampered by serious selection bias due to a considerable number of invitees declining to participate. Sufficient information from all the non-responders is rarely available to quantify this bias. Predictors of attendance, magnitude and direction of non-response bias in prevalence estimates and association measures, are investigated based on information fr…

  • Cost and health consequences of reducing the population intake of salt

    Randi Selmer, Randi M Selmer et al.ARTICLEJournal of Epidemiology and…2000Cited by: 4References: 17

    STUDY OBJECTIVE: The aim was to estimate health and economic consequences of interventions aimed at reducing the daily intake of salt (sodium chloride) by 6 g per person in the Norwegian population. Health promotion (information campaigns), development of new industry food recipes, declaration of salt content in food and taxes on salty food/subsidies of products with less salt, were possible interventions. DESIGN: The study was a simulation model…

  • Income, educational level and body height

    Open AccessHelmut E Meyer, HAAKON E MEYER HAAKON E MEYER et al.ARTICLEAnnals of Human Biology1999

    The relation between adult body height and two socio-economic factors (income and educational level) was studied in a large, ethnically homogenous population. In the period 1980-1983 all persons aged 40-54 years (born 1926-1941) in two Norwegian counties were invited to a cardiovascular screening. Ninety per cent (or 38162 persons) of those invited attended and had their height measured. Information concerning income and education was available a…

  • Body mass index and cardiovascular mortality at different levels of blood pressure

    Randi Selmer, Aage TverdalARTICLEJournal of Epidemiology and…1995Cited by: 1References: 12

    STUDY OBJECTIVE--The study investigated the joint effect of body mass index and systolic blood pressure on cardiovascular and total mortality. DESIGN--This was a prospective cohort study. The main outcome measures were age adjusted mortality and relative risks estimated from survival models. SETTING--The population of the city of Bergen, Norway. PARTICIPANTS--Subjects were 21,145 men and 30,330 women aged 30-79 years at the time of examination in…

  • The negligible influence of premarital cohabitation on marital fertility in current danish cohorts, 1975

    Open AccessJan M Hoem, Randi SelmerARTICLEDemography1984Cited by: 1References: 7

    This paper studies the influence of premarital cohabitation on marital fertility by applying life table methods to data for cohorts of Danish women born in 1926–1955, collected in retrospective interviews made in 1975. For each five-year cohort, the data have been analyzed by duration of marriage or by duration since previous birth, for women who had no reported births before marriage. Our main empirical results are: (a) that women who married at…
