Har innvandrerforeldres botid betydning for barnas risiko for å få en diagnose i spesialisthelsetjenesten
Det er en sammenheng mellom botid, indikatorer for integrering og bruk av helsetjenester. Barrierer når det gjelder helsetjenestebruk hos innvandrerforeldre kan påvirke barnas bruk av tjenester. Vi har undersøkt betydningen av slike barrierer ved å analysere forskjeller mellom barn med og barn uten innvandrerforeldre i risiko for diagnoser i spesialisthelsetjenesten, etter foreldrenes botid i Norge. I studien kombinerte vi data fra Medisinsk føds…
Differences in autism incidence among Norwegian-born preschool children by parental immigrant background and human development index in maternal country of birth
We assessed hazard of autism spectrum disorder among Norwegian-born preschool children with immigrant parents, categorized by human development index in maternal country of birth, relative to children with Norwegian-born parents. We further assessed the importance of household socioeconomic status and changes in hazard differences across birth cohorts. The sample included children 0–6 years born to two Norwegian-born or two immigrant parents betw…
Diagnoses of Mental Health Disorders Among Norwegian-Born Youth and Young Adults with Immigrant Parents—A Register-Based Study
Adolescence and early adulthood are associated with an increase in mental health problems. Migration is also a risk factor for mental disorders. Yet, we know little about the risk of mental disorders among young descendants of immigrants. This study aims to investigate the risk of being diagnosed with a mental disorder between the ages of 16-30 years among those born in Norway with at least one immigrant parent compared to those with Norwegian-bo…
Risk of Somatic Diagnoses in Specialist Health Care Among Norwegian-Born Youth and Young Adults with Immigrant Parents
Knowledge about the somatic health of young adults born to immigrant parents is lacking. This study aims to assess the risk of receiving somatic diagnoses among Norwegian-born young adults with immigrant parents compared to their counterparts with two Norwegian-born parents. Data from Medical Birth Registry of Norway and Statistics Norway were linked to data from Norwegian Patient Registry on 37 diagnostic categories of somatic conditions given i…
Psychometric performance of the WHO-5 well-being index in a nationwide sample of inpatients discharged from specialised mental health care
To evaluate the reliability and construct validity of the five-item World Health Organization Well-Being Index (WHO-5) in a nationwide sample of adults recently discharged from specialised inpatient mental health care in Norway. A total of 2310 patients participated in the national survey in early 2024. The WHO-5 was assessed for missing data, floor effects, internal consistency, and factor structure using exploratory and confirmatory factor anal…
Cognitive ability in offspring conscripts and cardiovascular disease risk in extended family members
BACKGROUND: Previous studies have demonstrated an inverse association between cognitive ability (CA) and risk of cardiovascular diseases (CVDs). This study aims to investigate the associations between CA in offspring and CVD mortality in relatives of the parental generation (ie, parents, aunts/uncles (A/U) and the partners of A/U) and assesses the role of modifiable risk factors on these associations. METHODS: This longitudinal study included nea…
The influence of immigrant background and parental education on overweight and obesity in 8-year-old children in Norway
Children with immigrant background had higher prevalence of overweight/obesity than non-immigrant background children. The difference varied according to region of origin but not substantially according to parental education. There is a need for culturally acceptable preventative measures targeting the parents of immigrant background children
Comparison of Cardiovascular Risk Factors among Somalis Living in Norway and Somaliland
In spite of the high body mass index (BMI) in Oslo, most CVD risk factors were higher among Somali women living in Hargeisa compared to those in Oslo, with similar patterns suggested in men. However, the predicted CVD risks based on Framingham models were not different between the locations
Trends in Diabetes Prevalence, Awareness, Treatment and Control in Yangon Region, Myanmar, Between 2004 and 2014, Two Cross-Sectional Studies
Myanmar is currently facing the burden of non-communicable diseases due to changes in lifestyle and dietary patterns linked to socio-economic development. However, evidence is scarce about changes in the prevalence of diabetes mellitus (DM) over time. We aimed to investigate changes in the prevalence, awareness, treatment and control of DM from 2004 to 2014, among adults aged 25-74 years, in the Yangon region. Two cross-sectional household-based …
The prevalence of selected risk factors for non-communicable diseases in Hargeisa, Somaliland
Most of the selected risk factors for noncommunicable diseases were high and increased by age in both women and men. Overweight and obesity and low physical activity needs intervention in women, while hypertension and low fruit and vegetable consumption needs intervention in both men and women. Somaliland health authorities should develop and/or strengthen health services that can help in treating persons with hypertension and hyperlipidaemia, an…
The educational gradient in cardiovascular risk factors
About one third of the educational gradients in modifiable CVD risk factors may be explained by factors that siblings share. This implies that childhood environment is important for the prevention of CVD
Changes in prevalence, awareness, treatment and control of hypertension from 2004 to 2014 among 25-74-year-old citizens in the Yangon Region, Myanmar
The prevalence of hypertension has risen from 2004 to 2014 in both urban and rural areas of the Yangon Region, while, the awareness, treatment and control rate of hypertension remains low in urban and rural areas among both males and females. It is likely that changes in the metabolic variables, BMI and hypercholesterolemia have contributed to an increase in the prevalence of hypertension from 2004 to 2014. Factors associated with hypertension in…
Urban-rural differences in the prevalence of non-communicable diseases risk factors among 25–74 years old citizens in Yangon Region, Myanmar
The metabolic risk factors, as well as a moderate or high ten-year risk of CHD were more common among urban residents whereas behavioral risk factors levels were higher in among the rural people of Yangon Region. The high prevalences of NCD risk factors in both urban and rural areas call for preventive measures to reduce the future risk of NCDs in Myanmar
Maintenance of changes in food intake and motivation for healthy eating among Norwegian-Pakistani women participating in a culturally adapted intervention
Objective To investigate maintenance of changes in food intake and motivation for healthy eating at follow-up 2 data collection after a lifestyle intervention among Pakistani immigrant women. Design A culturally adapted lifestyle intervention, aiming at reducing the risk of type 2 diabetes mellitus. Data collection including FFQ and questions on intentions to change dietary behaviour was completed at baseline, right after the 7 ± 1 month interven…
Does the “Stages of Change” Construct Predict Cross-Sectional and Temporal Variations in Dietary Behavior and Selected Indicators of Diabetes Risk Among Norwegian-Pakistani Women
Frequent use of staff canteens is associated with unhealthy dietary habits and obesity in a Norwegian adult population
Objective To explore socio-economic differences in use of staff canteens and whether frequent use of staff canteens is associated with different food patterns and obesity. Design Cross-sectional study using three self-administered questionnaires, two of them including food frequency questions. Factor analysis was used to explore food patterns. Setting Oslo, Norway, 2000–2001. Subjects In total 8943 adult, working Oslo citizens. Results Frequent (…
Perceptions of risk factors for diabetes among Norwegian-Pakistani women participating in a culturally adapted intervention
There is a need for improved knowledge about diabetes prevention among Pakistani immigrant women, and a culturally adapted intervention may contribute to this
Intention to Change Dietary Habits, and Weight Loss Among Norwegian-Pakistani Women Participating in a Culturally Adapted Intervention
The aim was to explore the relationships between degree of participation in a culturally adapted lifestyle intervention and stages of change for healthy eating and weight loss among Pakistani immigrant women in Norway. The intervention lasted 7 months and included 198 women, randomized into control and intervention groups. The odds of losing weight from baseline to follow-up, and being in action stages of change (compared to pre-action stages) wi…
