Associations of overweight, obesity and osteoporosis with ankle fractures
Hjelle, Anja Myhre; Apalset, Ellen M.; Gjertsen, Jan-Erik; Nilsen, Roy M.; Lober, Anja; Tell, Grethe S.; Pawel, Mielnik (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Background: Studies exploring risk factors for ankle fractures in adults are scarce, and with diverging conclusions. This study aims to investigate whether overweight, obesity and osteoporosis may be identified as risk ... -
Interferon (IFN)-γ-mediated inflammation and the kynurenine pathway in relation to bone mineral density: the Hordaland Health Study
Apalset, Ellen M.; Gjesdal, Clara Gram; Ueland, Per Magne; Midttun, Øyvind; Ulvik, Arve; Eide, Geir Egil; Meyer, Klaus; Tell, Grethe Seppola (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2014-04-24)The risk of osteoporosis increases in inflammatory disorders. In cell-mediated immune activation, interferon (IFN)-γ stimulates macrophage release of neopterin and increases the activity of indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase ... -
Interferon gamma (IFN-γ)-mediated inflammation and the kynurenine pathway in relation to risk of hip fractures: The Hordaland Health Study
Apalset, Ellen M.; Gjesdal, Clara Gram; Ueland, Per Magne; Øyen, Jannike; Meyer, Klaus; Midttun, Øivind; Eide, Geir Egil; Tell, Grethe Seppola (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2014-05-10)Summary The cytokine interferon gamma (IFN-γ) stimulates neopterin release and tryptophan degradation into kynurenines through the kynurenine pathway. High levels of neopterin were associated with increased hip fracture ... -
Smoking and body fat mass in relation to bone mineral density and hip fracture: The Hordaland Health Study
Øyen, Jannike; Gjesdal, Clara Gram; Nygård, Ottar; Lie, Stein Atle; Meyer, Haakon; Apalset, Ellen M.; Ueland, Per Magne; Pedersen, Eva Kristine Ringdal; Midttun, Øivind; Vollset, Stein Emil; Tell, Grethe Seppola (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2014-03-25)Lower bone mineral density (BMD) in smokers may be attributable to lower body weight or fat mass, rather than to a direct effect of smoking. We analyzed the effects of smoking exposure, assessed by plasma cotinine, and ...
