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 ... -
Dietary intake of n-3 long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids and risk of myocardial infarction in coronary artery disease patients with or without diabetes mellitus: a prospective cohort study
Strand, Elin; Pedersen, Eva Kristine Ringdal; Svingen, Gard Frodahl Tveitevåg; Schartum-Hansen, Hall; Rebnord, Eirik Wilberg; Bjørndal, Bodil; Seifert, Reinhard; Bohov, Pavol; Meyer, Klaus; Hiltunen, J.

T.; Berge, Rolf Kristian; Nygård, Ottar (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2013-10-08)Background: A beneficial effect of a high n-3 long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acid (LCPUFA) intake has been observed in heart failure patients, who are frequently insulin resistant. We investigated the potential influence ... -
Glycated hemoglobin and long-term prognosis in patients with suspected stable angina pectoris without diabetes mellitus: A prospective cohort study
Rebnord, Eirik Wilberg; Pedersen, Eva Kristine Ringdal; Strand, Elin; Svingen, Gard Frodahl Tveitevåg; Meyer, Klaus; Schartum-Hansen, Hall; Løland, Kjetil Halvorsen; Seifert, Reinhard; Ueland, Per Magne; Nilsen, Dennis W.

Lipid parameters and vitamin A modify cardiovascular risk prediction by plasma neopterin
Dhar, Indu; Siddique, Sumia; Pedersen, Eva Kristine Ringdal; Svingen, Gard FT; Lysne, Vegard; Olsen, Thomas; Nilsen, Dennis W.T.; Nordrehaug, Jan Erik; Midttun, Øivind; Ueland, Per Magne; Tell, Grethe S; Nygård, Ottar (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Objectives Oxidised cholesterol metabolites are linked to increased production of the active vitamin A (Vit-A) form and monocyte/macrophage activation, which may be reflected by neopterin, a marker of both interferon-γ–mediated ... -
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 ... -
