    • Educational gradient in hip fracture incidence in Norway. The Norwegian Epidemiologic Osteoporosis Studies (NOREPOS) 

      Holvik, Kristin; Dahl, Cecilie; Samuelsen, Sven Ove; Søgaard, Anne-Johanne; Solbakken, Siri Marie; Tell, Grethe Seppola; Hoff, Mari; Schei, Berit; Kjeldgaard, Helena Kames; Apalset, Ellen Margrete; Morseth, Bente; Grimnes, Guri; Meyer, Haakon Eduard; Omsland, Tone Kristin (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)
      Summary Examining fracture dynamics by socioeconomic status may inform healthcare and prevention. We found a higher risk of hip fracture in men and women with lower educational level in Norway. However, by age 90 + years, ...

    • 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 ...

    • The influence of birth weight and length on bone mineral density and content in adolescence: The Tromsø Study, Fit Futures 

      Christoffersen, Tore; Ahmed, Luai A.; Daltveit, Anne Kjersti; Dennison, Elaine; Evensen, Elin; Furberg, Anne-Sofie; Gracia-Marco, Luis; Grimnes, Guri; Nilsen, Ole-Andreas; Schei, Berit; Tell, Grethe S.; Vlachopoulous, Dimitris; Winther, Anne; Emaus, Nina (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2017-12)
      Summary: The influence of birth weight and length on bone mineral parameters in adolescence is unclear. We found a positive association between birth size and bone mineral content, attenuated by lifestyle factors. This ...

    • Is there an association between birth characteristics and fractures in young adults? The HUNT Study, Norway 

      Holltrø, Hilde Thomasli; Nilsen, Tom Ivar Lund; Schei, Berit; Tronstad, Ingebjørg; Horn, Julie; Holvik, Kristin; Daltveit, Anne Kjersti Nesje; Dennison, Elaine M.; Harvey, Nicholas C.; Langhammer, Arnulf; Hoff, Mari (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2025)
      Summary This population study investigated the association between birth characteristics and fracture risk in 11,099 young adults (aged 19–54 years). Our findings indicate that birth weight, gestational age, and birth ...

    • Low Serum Levels of 25-Hydroxyvitamin D Predict Hip Fracture in the Elderly: A NOREPOS Study

      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 ...

    • 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 ...
