Prevalence of overweight and obesity among children in Greenland
To investigate the prevalence of overweight and obesity among children aged 3 to 10 years in Greenland. Further, to describe the prevalence of overweight and obesity according to sex, place of residence and age, including change over time. In a cross-sectional study, we included 4715 children aged 3-10 years, using data from the national electronic medical records. BMI was calculated and children were categorised into age and sex-specific weight …
Video, mail, and medical assistance request telemedicine consultations at Steno Diabetes Center Greenland
Greenland's geography and dispersed settlements impede equitable access to care. To address this, Steno Diabetes Center Greenland (SDCG) implemented a telemedicine programme (2021-2024) comprising client-to-provider video (VC), client-to-provider mail, and provider-to-provider Medical Assistance Requests (MAR). The aim of this study was to describe utilization of the newly implemented telemedicine modalities at SDCG from 2021 to 2024. The study w…
Health literacy and self-management of people living with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease or type 2 diabetes in Greenland
There was a great desire for more knowledge about COPD and T2D and for information in Greenlandic. The study showed considerable individual variation in knowledge about disease and health literacy, and involving the informants' network in management of the disease was found essential. The study's results can support the development of a culturally adapted patient education intervention. The intervention must be multifaceted, accessible to all cit…
Low Prevalence of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease in Greenland—A Call for Increased Focus on the Importance of Diagnosis Coding
The aim of this study was to estimate the prevalence of patients diagnosed with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) according to age, gender, and residence in Greenland and to investigate the associated quality of care. The study was performed as an observational cross-sectional study using data on patients diagnosed with COPD, extracted from the electronical medical record (EMR) in Greenland. The total prevalence of patients aged 20-79 …
Prevalence of Patients Receiving Urate-Lowering Medicine in Greenland and Denmark
This study estimates the age- and sex-specific prevalence of patients receiving urate-lowering therapy (ULT) in Greenland and compares the results with estimates in Denmark. Characteristics of patients receiving ULT in Greenland were compared to age- and sex-matched controls. The study was designed as a cross-sectional case−control study based on nationwide data from medical and population registers in Greenland and Denmark. The prevalence of pat…
Plasma amino acids in Greenlanders and Danes. influence of seasons, residence, ethnicity, and diet
Basal metabolic rate is elevated among circumpolar populations. It has been our hypotheses that this is reflected in the levels of plasma amino acids, that amino acid concentration in plasma differs between Greenlanders and Danes, and that this difference is related to residence, ethnicity, diet, and season. The purpose of the study was to measure plasma amino acids in Greenlanders and Danes and to analyze the influence of residence, ethnicity, d…
