The association between alcohol consumption and risk of hip fracture differs by age and gender in Cohort of Norway: a NOREPOS study
Søgaard, Anne-Johanne; Ranhoff, Anette Hylen; Meyer, Haakon E; Omsland, Tone Kristin; Nystad, Wenche; Tell, Grethe S.; Holvik, Kristin (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2018-11)Summary: The association between alcohol consumption and hip fracture differed by gender: Men aged 30–59 years drinking frequently or 14+ gl/week had higher risk than moderate drinkers. No significant association was seen ... -
Cause-specific excess mortality after hip fracture: the Norwegian Epidemiologic Osteoporosis Studies (NOREPOS)
Holvik, Kristin; Ellingsen, Christian Lycke; Solbakken, Siri Marie; Finnes, Trine Elisabeth; Talsnes, Ove; Grimnes, Guri; Tell, Grethe Seppola; Søgaard, Anne-Johanne; Meyer, Haakon Eduard (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023-03-31)Background: Information on cause of death may help appraise the degree to which the high excess mortality after hip fracture reflects pre-existing comorbidities or the injury itself. We aimed to describe causes of death ... -
Contribution of an extensive medication-based comorbidity index (Rx-Risk) in explaining the excess mortality after hip fracture in older Norwegians: a NOREPOS cohort study
Holvik, Kristin; Hjellvik, Vidar; Karlstad, Øystein; Gunnes, Nina; Hoff, Mari; Tell, Grethe Seppola; Meyer, Haakon Eduard (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)Objectives Patients with hip fracture are typically characterised by extensive comorbidities and excess mortality. Methods that account for a wide range of comorbidities are needed when attempting to identify causal ... -
Explaining declining hip fracture rates in Norway: a population-based modelling study
Kjeldgaard, Helena Kames; Holvik, Kristin; Abrahamsen, Bo; Tell, Grethe S.; Meyer, Haakon E.; O’Flaherty, Martin (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)Background Although age-standardised hip fracture incidence has declined in many countries during recent decades, the number of fractures is forecast to increase as the population ages. Understanding the drivers behind ... -
Grip strength in men and women aged 50–79 years is associated with non-vertebral osteoporotic fracture during 15 years follow-up: The Tromsø Study 1994–1995
Søgaard, Anne-Johanne; Magnus, Jeanette H.; Bjørnerem, Åshild; Holvik, Kristin; Ranhoff, Anette Hylen; Emaus, Nina; Meyer, Haakon E; Strand, Bjørn Heine (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)In 50–79-year-olds who participated in the Tromsø Study (1994–1995), the risk of non-vertebral osteoporotic fractures during 15 years follow-up increased by 22% in men and 9% in women per 1 SD lower grip strength. The ... -
Impact of Total Hip Replacements on the Incidence of Hip Fractures in Norway During 1999–2019. A Norwegian Epidemiologic Osteoporosis Studies (NOREPOS) Study
Kjeldgaard, Helena Kames; Meyer, Haakon Eduard; O’Flaherty, Martin; Apalset, Ellen Margrete; Dahl, Cecilie; Emaus, Nina; Fenstad, Anne Marie; Furnes, Ove Nord; Gjertsen, Jan-Erik; Hoff, Mari; Schei, Berit; Søgaard, Anne-Johanne; Tell, Grethe Seppola; Holvik, Kristin (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)The knowledge about why hip fracture rates in Norway have declined is sparse. Concurrent with decreasing hip fracture rates, the rates of total hip replacements (THRs) have increased. We wanted to investigate if hip fracture ... -
Individual Variation in Adaptive Immune Responses and Risk of Hip Fracture-A NOREPOS Population-Based Cohort Study
Dahl, Jesper; Holvik, Kristin; Heldal, Einar; Grimnes, Guri; Hoff, Mari; Finnes, Trine; Apalset, Ellen Margrete; Meyer, Haakon E (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Immune‐mediated bone loss significantly impacts fracture risk in patients with autoimmune disease, but to what extent individual variations in immune responses affect fracture risk on a population level is unknown. To ... -
Low Serum Levels of 25-Hydroxyvitamin D Predict Hip Fracture in the Elderly: A NOREPOS Study
Holvik, Kristin; Ahmed, Luai Awad; Forsmo, Siri; Gjesdal, Clara Gram; Grimnes, Guri; Samuelsen, Sven Ove; Schei, Berit; Blomhoff, Rune; Tell, Grethe S; Meyer, Haakon E (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2013-08)Background: Despite considerable interest, the relationship between circulating 25-hydroxyvitamin D and the risk of hip fracture is not fully established. Objective: The objective of the study was to study the association ... -

Rojewski, Sonia; Westberg, Marianne; Nordsletten, Lars; Meyer, Haakon Eduard; Holvik, Kristin; Furnes, Ove Nord; Fenstad, Anne Marie; Dahl, Jesper (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)Objective To investigate the relationship between individual postvaccination immune responses and subsequent risk of total hip arthroplasty (THA) due to idiopathic osteoarthritis (OA) or rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Me ... -
Resting heart rate, self-reported physical activity in middle age, and long-term risk of hip fracture. A NOREPOS cohort study of 367,386 men and women
Landgraff, Ida Kalstad; Meyer, Haakon Eduard; Ranhoff, Anette Hylen; Holvik, Kristin; Talsnes, Ove; Myrstad, Marius (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)Enhanced knowledge regarding modifiable risk factors for hip fractures are warranted. We aimed to study the associations between two indicators of physical fitness (resting heart rate and level of physical activity) in ... -
