Monitoring children and adolescents with severe obesity: body mass index (BMI), BMI z‐score or percentage above the International Obesity Task Force overweight cut‐off?
Løkling, Hanne L; Roelants, Mathieu; Kommedal, Kristin; Skjåkødegård, Hanna Flækøy; Apalset, Ellen M; Benestad, Beate; Morken, Mette Helvik; Hjelmesæth, Jøran; Juliusson, Petur Benedikt (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)Aim: Body mass index (BMI) metrics are widely used as a proxy for adiposity in children with severe obesity. The BMI expressed as the percentage of a cut‐off percentile for overweight or obesity has been proposed as a ... -

Methods: In a regional cohort, we related ... -
Normal Liver Stiffness Values in Children - A Comparison of Three Different Elastography Methods
Mjelle, Anders Batman; Mulabecirovic, Anesa; Havre, Roald Flesland; Rosendahl, Karen; Juliusson, Petur Benedikt; Olafsdottir, Edda Jonina; Gilja, Odd Helge; Vesterhus, Mette (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019-05)Objectives: Noninvasive tests for the evaluation of liver fibrosis are particularly helpful in children to avoid general anesthesia and potential complications of invasive tests. We aimed to establish reference values for ... -
Norwegian children and adolescents in blended families are at risk of larger one-year BMI increments
Kristiansen, Hege; Roelants, Mathieu; Bjerknes, Robert; Juliusson, Petur Benedikt (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Aim: To study how sociodemographic factors and family structure associate with baseline BMI z‐scores (BMIz) and BMIz change in 767 Norwegian children aged 6‐15 years. Methods: Baseline BMIz and 1‐year BMIz increments in ... -

Methods: Testicular ... -
Reference ranges for head circumference in ethiopian children 0-2 years of age
Amare, Ephrem Bililigne; Idsøe, Mari; Wiksnes, Miriam; Moss, Thomas; Roelants, Mathieu; Shimelis, Damte; Juliusson, Petur Benedikt; Kiserud, Torvid; Wester, Knut (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2015-12)BACKGROUND: Head circumference (HC) charts are important for early detection of hydrocephalus during childhood.
