Aerobic fitness thresholds to define poor cardiometabolic health in children and youth
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Aerobic fitness is an apparent candidate for screening children and youth for poor cardiometabolic health and future risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD). Yet, age‐ and sex‐specific cut points for children and youth ... -
Association between Personal Activity Intelligence (PAI) and body weight in a population free from cardiovascular disease: The HUNT study
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Background: Personal Activity Intelligence (PAI) is a new metric for physical activity tracking, and is associated with reduced risk of all-cause and cardiovascular mortality. We prospectively investigated whether PAI is ... -
Increases in physical activity is as important as smoking cessation for reduction in total mortality in elderly men: 12 years of follow-up of the Oslo II study
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015-05-14)Background: Physical activity (PA) at leisure by the elderly, and its relationship to cardiovascular (CV) and non-CV mortality, with and without competing risk, has been scarcely described. We determined the relationships ... -
The long-term effect of different exercise intensities on high-density lipoprotein cholesterol in older men and women using the per protocol approach: The Generation 100 study
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Objective: To examine whether 5 years of high-intensity interval training (HIIT) increases high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) concentration more than moderate-intensity continuous training (MICT) and control (CON) ... -
Long-term survival in pre-specified groups at risk in the Oslo Study, 1972-1973
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015-01-09)Aims: Using the Oslo Study of 1972–1973, we wished to compare the long-term mortality pattern up to 40 years, in both the healthy cardiovascular groups at supposedly high and low risk, and in some groups having cardiovascular ... -
The Longitudinal Association of Cardiorespiratory Fitness and Adiposity With Clustered Cardiometabolic Risk: A Mediation Analysis
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)Purpose: Previous literature has demonstrated the mediating role of adiposity in the association between cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) and cardiometabolic risk as well as the potential role of CRF in attenuating the ... -
Physical activity and cardiovascular risk factors in a 40- to 42-year-old rural Norwegian population from 1975–2010: repeated cross-sectional surveys
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2014-06-07)Background: Geographical differences in cardiovascular diseases (CVD) have been observed among Norwegian counties. Better long-term health status and higher physical activity (PA) levels have been documented in the county ... -
Physical activity and mortality across levels of adiposity: A prospective cohort study from the UK biobank
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Objective: To examine the combined and stratified associations of physical activity and adiposity measures, modelled as body mass index (BMI), abdominal adiposity (waist circumference), and body fat percentage (BF) with ... -
Prospective Association of Daily Steps with Cardiovascular Disease: A Harmonized Meta-Analysis
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Background: Taking fewer than the widely promoted “10 000 steps per day” has recently been associated with lower risk of all-cause mortality. The relationship of steps and cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk remains poorly ... -
Randomized trial of cardiovascular prevention in Norway combining an in-hospital lifestyle course with primary care follow-up: The Hjerteløftet study
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Aims: Cardiovascular risk factor control is suboptimal in Europe, including Norway. The present study examined the efficacy of a multimodal primary prevention intervention programme based on the existing Norwegian health ... -
Sitting Time, Physical Activity, and Risk of Mortality in Adults
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)Background: It is unclear what level of moderate to vigorous intensity physical activity (MVPA) offsets the health risks of sitting. Objectives: The purpose of this study was to examine the joint and stratified associations ... -
The stability of cardiometabolic risk factors clustering in children and adolescents: a 2-year longitudinal study
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Objective: The present study aims to verify the odds of remaining with the clustering of 3 or more, 4 or more, and 5 or more risk factors across a 2-year time span. Methods: Observational longitudinal study that included ... -
Towards better evidence-informed global action: Lessons learnt from the Lancet series and recent developments in physical activity and public health
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)In the past few decades, the field of physical activity has grown and evolved in scope, depth, visibility and impact around the world. Global progress has been observed in research and practice in physical activity regarding ... -
Validity of noninvasive composite scores to assess cardiovascular risk in 10-year-old children
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017-01-16)Agreement between and classification accuracy of six different noninvasive composite scores and a cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factor score were investigated in 911 (466 boys and 445 girls) 10-year-old Norwegian ...
