A comparison between BMI, waist circumference, and waist-to-height ratio for identifying cardio-metabolic risk in children and adolescents
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016-02-22)BACKGROUND: There is controversial evidence on the associations between anthropometric measures with clustering of cardiovascular disease risk factors in pediatric ages. We aimed to examine the associations between body ... -
A mixed ecologic-cohort comparison of physical activity & weight among young adults from five populations of African origin
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2014-04-24)Background: Examination of patterns and intensity of physical activity (PA) across cultures where obesity prevalence varies widely provides insight into one aspect of the ongoing epidemiologic transition. The primary ... -
Accelerometer-measured physical activity is not associated with two-year weight change in African-origin adults from five diverse populations
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017-01-19)Background. Increasing population-levels of physical activity (PA) is a controversial strategy for managing the obesity epidemic, given the conflicting evidence for weight loss from PA alone per se. We measured PA and ... -
Adiposity, aerobic fitness, muscle fitness, and markers of inflammation in children
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2013-04)Purpose: The purpose of this study was to describe levels of inflammation markers in Norwegian children and to examine the associations of adiposity, aerobic fitness, and muscle fitness with markers of inflammation. ... -
Angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (SARS-CoV-2 receptor) expression in human skeletal muscle
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)The study aimed to determine the levels of skeletal muscle angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2, the SARS-CoV-2 receptor) protein expression in men and women and assess whether ACE2 expression in skeletal muscle is ... -
Antioxidant enzymes and Nrf2/Keap1 in human skeletal muscle: Influence of age, sex, adiposity and aerobic fitness
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Ageing, a sedentary lifestyle, and obesity are associated with increased oxidative stress, while regular exercise is associated with an increased antioxidant capacity in trained skeletal muscles. Whether a higher aerobic ... -
Associations between accelerometry measured physical activity and sedentary time and the metabolic syndrome: A meta-analysis of more than 6000 children and adolescents
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)Background: Metabolic syndrome is increasingly prevalent in the pediatric population. To prevent an early onset, knowledge about its association with modifiable lifestyle factors is needed. Objectives: To estimate the ... -
Associations between adolescent and adult socioeconomic status and risk of obesity and overweight in Danish adults
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2014-04)It has been suggested that socioeconomic status (SES) may influence the risk of obesity; however it is important to consider individual changes in SES over the life-course in addition to SES at specific time-points to ... -
Associations between diet, physical activity and body fat distribution: a cross sectional study in an Indian population.
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015-03-24)Background: Obesity is a growing health problem in India and worldwide, due to changes in lifestyle. This study aimed to explore the independent associations between dietary and physical activity exposure variables and ... -
Associations of Intrauterine and Postnatal Weight and Length Gains With Adolescent Body Composition: Prospective Birth Cohort Study From Brazil
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2012)Purpose: Early growth patterns have been associated with subsequent obesity risk. However, findings from middle-income populations suggest that early infant growth may benefit lean mass and height rather than adiposity. ... -
Associations of physical activity, sedentary time, and diet quality with biomarkers of inflammation in children
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)We investigated the associations of physical activity (PA), sedentary time (ST), and diet quality with biomarkers of inflammation in 390 children (192 girls, 198 boys) aged 6–8 years. PA energy expenditure (PAEE), light ... -
Attitudes and awareness towards weight gain among normal weight and overweight pregnant women
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2014-09-26)Objectives: (1) To evaluate the proportion who correctly classify- or misclassify maternal weight gain; (2) to investigate weight gain attitudes, and (3) to compare weight gain attitudes with weight gain recommendations ... -
The bidirectional associations between leisure time physical activity change and body mass index gain. The Tromsø Study 1974–2016
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Objectives To examine whether leisure time physical activity changes predict subsequent body mass index (BMI) changes, and conversely, whether BMI changes predict subsequent leisure time physical activity changes. Methods: ... -
Body composition and mortality from middle to old age: a prospective cohort study from the UK Biobank
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Background: How the association between adiposity and the risk of death changes with age, and which is the optimal level of adiposity to reduce mortality in older ages, is still not completely understood. We aimed to ... -
Cardiometabolic associations between physical activity, adiposity, and lipoprotein subclasses in prepubertal Norwegian children
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Lipoprotein subclasses possess crucial cardiometabolic information. Due to strong multicollinearity among variables, little is known about the strength of influence of physical activity (PA) and adiposity upon this ... -
Cardiorespiratory Fitness, Physical Activity, and Insulin Resistance in Children
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Purpose: Few studies have investigated the independent and joint associations of cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) and body fat percentage (BF%) with insulin resistance in children. We investigated the independent and combined ... -
The causal pathway effects of a physical activity intervention on adiposity in children: The KISS Study cluster randomized clinical trial
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Background: Very little information on the potential mechanisms of the physical activity interventions effects on adiposity is available. We evaluated the possible mediating factors of a physical activity school‐based ... -
Changes in adolescents’ intake of sugarsweetened beverages and sedentary behaviour: results at 8 month mid-way assessment of the HEIA study - a comprehensive, multi-component school-based randomized trial
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2011-06-17)Background: Inconsistent effects of school-based obesity prevention interventions may be related to how different subgroups receive them. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of an intervention program, ... -
