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 ... -
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 ... -
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)Summary 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. ... -
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 ... -

Objective: The objective of the study was to study the association ... -
A restrictive policy for red blood cell transfusion in older hip fracture patients: experiences from a patient register
Martinsen, Mette; Valland, Haldor; Solheim, Ludvig Fjeld; Holvik, Kristin; Ranhoff, Anette Hylen (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2016-02-09)Background: Allogeneic red blood cell transfusions (ABT) are common in older hip fracture patients. Recent research supports a restrictive transfusion policy. The aim was to study variation in hemoglobin (Hb) concentration, ... -
Urban–Rural Differences in Hip Fracture Mortality: A Nationwide NOREPOS Study
Solbakken, Siri Marie; Magnus, Jeanette H.; Meyer, Haakon E; Dahl, Cecilie; Stigum, Hein; Søgaard, Anne-Johanne; Holvik, Kristin; Tell, Grethe S.; Emaus, Nina; Forsmo, Siri; Gjesdal, Clara Gram; Schei, Berit; Vestergaard, Peter; Omsland, Tone Kristin (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019-09-09)Higher hip fracture incidence in urban than in rural areas has been demonstrated, but urban–rural differences in posthip fracture mortality have been less investigated, and the results are disparate. Hence, the aims of the ...
