    • Beta2-adrenoreceptor agonists and long-term risk of Parkinson's disease 

      Tuominen, Julia Axiina; Bjørnevik, Kjetil Lauvland; Romanowska, Julia; Solheim, Magne; Grydeland, Thomas Blix; Cortese, Marianna; Scherzer, Clemens R.; Riise, Trond; Igland, Jannicke (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)
      Introduction There is limited information on how the association between Parkinson's disease and the use of beta2-adrenoreceptor (β2AR) agonists varies among groups of short-, long-, and ultra-long-acting β2AR agonists ...

    • Humoral response to Epstein-Barr virus in patients with multiple sclerosis treated with B cell depletion therapy 

      Rød, Brit Ellen; Wergeland, Stig; Bjørnevik, Kjetil Lauvland; Holmøy, Trygve; Ulvestad, Elling; Njølstad, Gro; Myhr, Kjell-Morten; Torkildsen, Øivind (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)
      Background B cell depletion therapy is highly effective in relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis (RRMS). However, the precise underlying mechanisms of action for its biological effects in MS have still not been clarified. ...

    • Intake of carbohydrates and SFA and risk of CHD in middle-age adults: The Hordaland Health Study (HUSK) 

      Haugsgjerd, Teresa Risan; Egeland, Grace M.; Nygård, Ottar; Igland, Jannicke; Sulo, Gerhard; Lysne, Vegard; Vinknes, Kathrine; Bjørnevik, Kjetil Lauvland; Tell, Grethe S. (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)
      Objective: Limiting SFA intake may minimise the risk of CHD. However, such reduction often leads to increased intake of carbohydrates. We aimed to evaluate associations and the interplay of carbohydrate and SFA intake on ...

    • The interplay between environmental risk factors for multiple sclerosis 

      Bjørnevik, Kjetil Lauvland (Doctoral thesis, 2017-04-28)
      Background: Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic demyelinating disease of the central nervous system whose etiology is unknown. While several genetic factors and environmental exposures, including low vitamin D, smoking, ...

    • Level of education and multiple sclerosis risk after adjustment for known risk factors: The EnvIMS study 

      Bjørnevik, Kjetil Lauvland; Riise, Trond; Cortese, Marianna; Holmøy, Trygve; Kampman, Margitta Theodora; Magalhaes, Sandra; Myhr, Kjell-Morten; Wolfson, Christina; Pugliatti, Maura (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2015-05-26)
      Background: Several recent studies have found a higher risk of multiple sclerosis (MS) among people with a low level of education. This has been suggested to reflect an effect of smoking and lower vitamin D status in the ...

    • Low vitamin D, but not tobacco use or high BMI, is associated with long-term disability progression in multiple sclerosis 

      Wesnes, Kristin; Myhr, Kjell-Morten; Riise, Trond; Stokke, Silje Agnethe; Torkildsen, Øivind; Wergeland, Stig; Holmøy, Trygve; Midgard, Rune; Bru, Alla Nikolajevna S; Edland, Astrid; Eikeland, Randi; Gosal, Sonia; Harbo, Hanne Flinstad; Kleveland, Grethe; Sørenes, Yvonne; Øksendal, Nina; Bjørnevik, Kjetil Lauvland (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)
      Background: Low vitamin D levels, tobacco use and high body mass index (BMI) have been linked to adverse disease outcomes in multiple sclerosis (MS), but their influence on long-term disability progression remains unclear. ...

    • Neurofilament light chain predicts disease activity in relapsing-remitting MS 

      Varhaug, Kristin Nielsen; Barro, Christian; Bjørnevik, Kjetil Lauvland; Myhr, Kjell-Morten; Torkildsen, Øivind; Wergeland, Stig; Bindoff, Laurence; Kuhle, Jens; Vedeler, Christian A. (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2018)
      Objective: To investigate whether serum neurofilament light chain (NF-L) and chitinase 3-like 1 (CHI3L1) predict disease activity in relapsing-remitting MS (RRMS). Methods: A cohort of 85 patients with RRMS were followed ...

    • Timing of use of cod liver oil, a vitamin D source, and multiple sclerosis risk: The EnvIMS study. 

      Cortese, Marianna; Riise, Trond; Bjørnevik, Kjetil Lauvland; Holmøy, Trygve; Kampman, Margitta Theodora; Magalhaes, Sandra; Pugliatti, Maura; Wolfson, Christina; Myhr, Kjell-Morten (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2015)
      Background: Low vitamin D levels have been associated with an increased risk of multiple sclerosis (MS), although it remains unknown whether this relationship varies by age. Objective: The objective of this paper is to ...
