  • Overweight and obesity as risk factors for chronic low back pain

    Open AccessIngrid Heuch, IVAR HEUCH et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2024

    Risk of chronic LBP increases with higher values of BMI in both sexes, although it is uncertain whether this applies to very obese men. Very obese women carry a particularly large risk. Probabilities of recurrence or persistence of chronic LBP among those already afflicted also increase with higher values of BMI. Adjustment for other factors does not influence relationships with overweight and obesity to any major extent

  • Socioeconomic and geographic differences in ablation of atrial fibrillation in Norway - a national cohort study

    Open AccessFlorian Olsen, Frank Olsen et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2022

    Differences in health literacy, patient preference and demands are probably important causes of socioeconomic variation, and studies on how socioeconomic status influences the choice of treatment are warranted. Some of the geographic variation may reflect differences in ablation capacity. However, geographic variation related to differences in clinical practice and provider preferences implies a need for clearer guidelines, both at the specialist…

  • Associations between the number of children, age at childbirths and prevalence of chronic low back pain

    Open AccessIngrid Heuch, IVAR HEUCH et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2020

    Having experienced at least one childbirth seems to be associated with a higher prevalence of chronic LBP later in life. A young age at first childbirth is also associated with a long-lasting increased prevalence

  • Is there a U-shaped relationship between physical activity in leisure time and risk of chronic low back pain? A follow-up in the Hunt Study

    Open AccessIngrid Heuch, IVAR HEUCH et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2016

    No strong support was found overall for U-shaped relationships. However, no further general decrease in risk was seen among those with 3 h or more of hard physical activity per week. The contrasts observed between female educational groups may reflect different preferences regarding specific strenuous activities. Men aged 50 years or more seem in particular to benefit from hard physical activities

  • Injury morbidity in an urban and a rural area in Tanzania

    Open AccessCandida Moshiro, IVAR HEUCH et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2005

    The patterns of injury differ in urban and rural areas partly as a reflection of livelihoods and infrastructure. Rural residents are at a higher overall injury risk than urban residents. This may be important in the development of injury prevention strategies

  • Coffee, K- ras mutations and pancreatic cancer

    Bjarne K Jacobsen, IVAR HEUCHARTICLEJournal of Epidemiology and…2000Citada por: 1Referências: 5

    Is coffee drinking a risk factor for pancreatic cancer, after all? Kuper and colleagues1 argue on the basis of data presented by Porta and colleagues2 that this may be distinct possibility. Relations between coffee drinking and the risk of pancreatic cancer have been examined in numerous epidemiological studies, with the overall conclusion that there is essentially no association.3 This is also in accordance with two Norwegian prospective studies…

  • Reproductive factors and fatal hip fractures. A Norwegian prospective study of 63,000 women

    B K Jacobsen, Steinar Nilssen et al.ARTICLEJournal of Epidemiology and…1998Referências: 29

    STUDY OBJECTIVE: The aim of the study was to investigate the impact of reproductive variables (age at menarche, menopause, first and last birth as well as parity, lactation, and abortions) on hip fracture mortality. DESIGN AND SETTING: A prospective study in Norway with more than 60,000 women followed up for 29 years. A total of 465 deaths as a result of hip fracture were recorded. MAIN RESULTS: Statistically significant linear relations (p or = …

  • Lactation and cancer risk

    Gunnar Kvåle, IVAR HEUCHARTICLEJournal of Epidemiology and…1988Citada por: 2Referências: 13

    Relations between previous lactation experience and risks of cancer of the breast and other sites were investigated after follow-up of 50,274 parous women from 1961 through 1980. Among women with complete information on lactation, 5102 developed cancer and, of these, 1136 were diagnosed with breast cancer. Analyses of associations with mean duration of lactation per birth and duration for each of the three first births suggested a nonlinear relat…
