Association of body mass index with risk of acute myocardial infarction and mortality in Norwegian male and female patients with suspected stable angina pectoris: a prospective cohort study
Borgeraas, Heidi; Hertel, Jens Kristoffer; Svingen, Gard Frodahl Tveitevåg; Seifert, Reinhard; Pedersen, Eva Kristine Ringdal; Schartum-Hansen, Hall; Hjelmesæth, Jøran; Nygård, Ottar (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2014-05-21)Background: A number of previous studies have suggested that overweight or obese patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) may have lower morbidity and mortality than their leaner counterparts. Few studies have addressed ... -

Benestad, Beate; Juliusson, Petur Benedikt; Siegfried, Wolfgang; Lekhal, Samira; Småstuen, Milada Cvancarova; Hertel, Jens Kristoffer; Agosti, Fiorenza; Marazzi, Nicoletta; Hjelmesæth, Jøran; Sartorio, Alessandro (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2018-03)Aim: We aimed to compare modifiable cardiometabolic risk factors among treatment‐seeking adolescents with obesity in Italy, Germany and Norway. Methods: This retrospective, registry‐based, cross‐sectional cohort study ... -
The Chromosome 9p21 CVD- and T2D-Associated Regions in a Norwegian Population (The HUNT2 Survey)
Helgeland, Øyvind; Hertel, Jens Kristoffer; Molven, Anders; Ræder, Helge; Platou, Carl Geoffrey Parrinder; Midthjell, Kristian; Hveem, Kristian; Nygård, Ottar; Njølstad, Pål R.; Johansson, Stefan (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2015)Background. Two adjacent regions upstream CDKN2B on chromosome 9p21 have been associated with type 2 diabetes (T2D) and progression of cardiovascular disease (CVD).The precise location and number of risk variants have not ... -
Evaluation of four novel genetic variants affecting hemoglobin A1c levels in a population-based type 2 diabetes cohort (the HUNT2 study)
Hertel, Jens Kristoffer; Johansson, Stefan; Ræder, Helge; Platou, Carl G. P.; Midthjell, Kristian; Hveem, Kristian; Molven, Anders; Njølstad, Pål Rasmus (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2011-02-04)<b>Background:</b> Chronic hyperglycemia confers increased risk for long-term diabetes-associated complications and repeated hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) measures are a widely used marker for glycemic control in diabetes treatment ... -
FTO, Type 2 Diabetes, and Weight Gain Throughout Adult Life: A Meta-Analysis of 41,504 Subjects From the Scandinavian HUNT, MDC, and MPP Studies
Hertel, Jens Kristoffer; Johansson, Stefan; Sonestedt, Emily; Jonsson, Anna; Lie, Rolv Terje; Platou, Carl G.

We aimed to investigate whether a variant in FTO affects type 2 diabetes risk entirely through its effect on BMI and how FTO influences BMI across adult ... -
Gender-related differences in cardiometabolic risk factors and lifestyle behaviors in treatment-seeking adolescents with severe obesity
Barstad, Lisa Ha; Juliusson, Petur Benedikt; Johnson, Line Kristin; Hertel, Jens Kristoffer; Lekhal, Samira; Hjelmesæth, Jøran (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2018-02-14)Background: Obesity during adolescence is associated with cardiovascular mortality in adulthood. The adverse obesity-related cardiometabolic risk profile is already observed in adolescence. We aimed to examine possible ... -
