  • Childhood sensorineural hearing loss and adult mental health up to 43 years later

    Open AccessMariann Idstad, Kristian Tambs et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2019

    This study suggests that women with slight or mild sensorineural hearing loss from childhood experience elevated levels of symptoms of anxiety and depression, lowered subjective well-being and lowered self-esteem. However, the results should be interpreted with caution due to a lack of power in some analyses

  • Self-esteem and relationship satisfaction during the transition to motherhood

    Open AccessManon A Van Scheppingen, Jaap J A Denissen et al.ARTICLEJournal of Personality and Social…2018Citada por: 4

    In the current study, we used 5 waves of longitudinal data from a large representative sample of Norwegian mothers (N = 84,711) to examine the association between romantic relationship satisfaction and self-esteem before and after childbirth in subgroups of first-, second-, third-, and fourth-time mothers. Maternal self-esteem showed a highly similar change pattern across subgroups. Specifically, self-esteem decreased during pregnancy, increased …

  • Cohort Profile Update

    Pétursson Magnús, Per Magnus et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal of…2016

    This is an update of the Norwegian Mother and Child Cohort Study (MoBa) cohort profile which was published in 2006. Pregnant women attending a routine ultrasound examination were initially invited. The first child was born in October 1999 and the last in July 2009. The participation rate was 41%. The cohort includes more than 114 000 children, 95 000 mothers and 75 000 fathers. About 1900 pairs of twins have been born. There are approximately 16 …

  • Is the twin‐singleton difference in BMI related to the difference in birth weight? A register‐based birth cohort study of N orwegian males

    Open AccessWilly Eriksen, Kristian TambsARTICLEAmerican Journal of Human Biology2016

    OBJECTIVE: The aim was to test the hypothesis that the difference in body mass index (BMI) between twins and singletons may be attributed to a difference in birth weight. METHODS: Data from the Medical Birth Registry of Norway were linked with data from the Norwegian Conscript Service. This study used data on 411,186 males who were born in single or twin births in Norway during 1967 to 1984, and who were examined at the mandatory military conscri…

  • Effect of household size on mental problems in children

    Open AccessBjørn Grinde, Kristian TambsARTICLEBMC Psychology2016

    A large household is associated with fewer mental problems in children

  • Mood, anxiety, and alcohol use disorders and later cause-specific sick leave in young adult employees

    Open AccessFartein Ask Torvik, Ted Reichborn-Kjennerud et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2016

    Mood and anxiety disorders constituted independent risk factors for all cause sick leave, whereas alcohol use disorders seemed to be of less importance in young adulthood. Disorders characterised by distress were most strongly associated with sick leave granted for mental disorders, whereas disorders characterised by fear primarily predicted sick leave granted for somatic conditions. A large part of all sick leave is related to specific phobia, d…

  • Birth weight and the risk of overweight in young men born at term

    Open AccessWilly Eriksen, Concha Martínez Latre et al.ARTICLEAmerican Journal of Human Biology2015

    There is a positive within-family association between birth weight and the odds of overweight in young Norwegian men born at term

  • Health, health behaviors, and health dissimilarities predict divorce

    Open AccessFartein Ask Torvik, Kristin Gustavson et al.ARTICLEBMC Psychology2015

    Poor health and health behaviors are associated with divorce. This study investigates the degree to which six health indicators and health behaviors among husbands and wives are prospectively related to divorce, and whether spousal similarities in these factors are related to a reduced risk of marital dissolution. Theoretically, a reduced risk is possible, because spousal similarity can help the couple’s adaptive processes. The data come from a g…

  • Socioeconomic status and sick leave granted for mental and somatic disorders

    Open AccessFartein Ask Torvik, Eivind Ystrom et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2015

    Low SES is associated with a higher level of sick leave granted for both mental and somatic disorders among young adults, but these associations are confounded by factors that are common to co-twins. Education and income are therefore not likely to strongly affect sick leave in young adulthood

  • Mental distress predicts divorce over 16 years

    Open AccessMariann Idstad, Fartein Ask Torvik et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2015

    Our results suggest that mentally distressed individuals are selected out of marriage. We also found support for a couple-level effect in which spouse similarity in mental distress to a certain degree seems to protect against divorce

  • The educational gradient in coronary heart disease

    Inger Ariansen, Laust H Mortensen et al.ARTICLEJournal of Epidemiology and…2015Citada por: 1Referências: 32

    BACKGROUND: Independently of cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factors, cognitive ability may account for some of the excess risk of coronary heart disease (CHD) associated with lower education. We aimed to assess how late adolescence cognitive ability and midlife CVD risk factors are associated with the educational gradient in CHD in Norway. METHODS: In a cohort of 57 279 men born during 1949-1959, health survey information was linked to militar…

  • Associations between parental hearing impairment and children's mental health

    Open AccessIngrid Borren, Kristian Tambs et al.ARTICLESocial Science & Medicine2015Citada por: 2Referências: 40

  • Mental health and wellbeing in spouses of persons with dementia

    Open AccessHelga Ask, Ellen Melbye Langballe et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2014

    Having a partner with dementia is associated with loss of mental health and reduced life satisfaction. The risk of adverse mental health outcomes is greatest after the partner's nursing home admission

  • Paternal age at birth and the risk of obesity in young adulthood

    Open AccessWilly Eriksen, Jon Martin Sundet et al.ARTICLEAmerican Journal of Human Biology2013

    OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was to determine the relationship between paternal age at birth and the risk of obesity in young adulthood. METHODS: Data from the medical birth register of Norway were linked with register data from the Norwegian National Conscript Service and the national statistics agency, Statistics Norway. This study used the data on 346,609 registered males who were born at term in single birth without physical anomalies du…

  • Gender differences in subjective memory impairment in a general population

    Open AccessJostein Holmen, Ellen Melbye Langballe et al.ARTICLEBMC Psychology2013

    There is increased focus on early diagnosis of dementia, and subjective awareness of memory impairment is often assumed to be an early symptom of dementia. Subjective memory impairment (SMI) is used to describe subjective awareness of memory problems in the elderly after identifiable diseases which include this symptom are excluded. The aim of the present cross-sectional study was to examine the occurrence of SMI in a general adult population and…

  • More mental health problems after divorce in couples with high pre-divorce alcohol consumption than in other divorced couples

    Open AccessKamilla Rognmo, Fartein Ask Torvik et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2013

    Divorce seems to affect couples where one or both drink heavily more than couples with a low consumption. Also there was some evidence of a slower healing of mental health problems after divorce in alcohol exposed couples than in other couples. The results only reached significance for female high consumers and their spouses, but due to limited statistical power, safe conclusions about gender specific effects cannot be drawn

  • Alcohol use and spousal mental distress in a population sample

    Open AccessKamilla Rognmo, Fartein Ask Torvik et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2013

    The results of our study indicate that alcohol-related problems constitute a clear risk factor for spousal mental distress. On the other hand, a high consumption of alcohol per se was related to lower levels of spousal mental distress, after adjusting for the alcohol-related problems perceived by the alcohol consumer him/herself. All effect sizes were small, but the trends were clear, challenging the notion that a high consumption of alcohol is e…

  • Divergent associations of drinking frequency and binge consumption of alcohol with mortality within the same cohort

    Sidsel Graff-Iversen, Sidsel Graff‐Iversen et al.ARTICLEJournal of Epidemiology and…2013Citada por: 1Referências: 17

    BACKGROUND: Observational studies show beneficial effects of moderate alcohol drinking on all-cause and cardiovascular disease (CVD) mortality, while binge drinking has been linked with increased mortality. The aim of this study was to assess the associations of alcohol use with mortality in a population with a hybrid of drinking patterns. METHOD: Participants in a population based cardiovascular health survey in Finnmark county in 1987-1988, age…

  • Are stepfathers' education levels associated with the intelligence of their stepsons? A register-based study of Norwegian half-brothers

    Open AccessWilly Eriksen, Jon Martin Sundet et al.ARTICLEBritish Journal of Psychology2013Citada por: 5Referências: 21

    We examined the relationship between the parents' education levels and the adult intelligence of their children in a population-based, nationwide sample of Norwegian half-brothers with different fathers (2,016 pairs of half-brothers). In a family where the mother has two children with different men, the firstborn child usually lives with the younger child's father during a period of their childhood. This makes it possible to study the non-genetic…

  • The buffering effect of relationship satisfaction on emotional distress in couples

    Open AccessGun-Mette B Røsand, Kari Slinning et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2012

    Partner relationship dissatisfaction is strongly associated with emotional distress in men and women. Good partner relationship, both as perceived by the individual him(her)self and by the spouse, quite strongly moderates adverse effects of various types of emotional strain

  • Paternal and maternal alcohol abuse and offspring mental distress in the general population

    Open AccessKamilla Rognmo, Fartein Ask Torvik et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2012

    The results indicate graver consequences for offspring of alcohol abusing mothers compared to offspring of alcohol abusing fathers. However, small effect sizes suggest that adolescent offspring of alcohol abusing parents in general manage quite well

  • Parental alcohol use and adolescent school adjustment in the general population

    Open AccessFartein Ask Torvik, Kamilla Rognmo et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2011

    Parental alcohol abuse is an independent risk factor for attention and conduct problems at school. Some of the risk associated with mothers' drinking is likely to be mediated by adolescent mental distress. Despite lowered adjustment on the externalizing dimensions, children of alcohol abusers report that they enjoy being at school as much as other children

  • Partner relationship satisfaction and maternal emotional distress in early pregnancy

    Open AccessGun-Mette B Røsand, Kari Slinning et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2011

    Dissatisfaction with the partner relationship is a significant predictor of maternal emotional distress in pregnancy. A good partner relationship can have a protective effect against some stressors

  • Effects of Changed Aircraft Noise Exposure on Experiential Qualities of Outdoor Recreational Areas

    Open AccessNorun Hjertager Krog, Bo Engdahl et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal of…2010

    The literature indicates that sound and visual stimuli interact in the impression of landscapes. This paper examines the relationship between annoyance with sound from aircraft and annoyance with other area problems (e.g., careless bicycle riding, crowding, etc.), and how changes in noise exposure influence the perceived overall recreational quality of outdoor recreational areas. A panel study (telephone interviews) conducted before and after the…
