(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2018)Objectives: No individual homocysteine (Hcy) metabolite has been studied as a risk marker for coronary artery disease (CAD). Our objective was to examine Hcy‐thiolactone, a chemically reactive metabolite generated by ... -
Urinary incontinence and risk of functional decline in older women: data from the Norwegian HUNT-study
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2013-05-16)Background: The main objective of the present study was to determine whether UI is an independent predictor of ADL decline and IADL decline in elderly women. We also aimed to find out whether incontinent subjects were at ... -
Urinary Incontinence and Weight Change During Pregnancy and Postpartum: A Cohort Study
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2010-11-01)Weight gain during pregnancy may contribute to increased urinary incontinence (UI) during and after pregnancy, but scientific support is lacking. The effect of weight loss on UI postpartum is unclear. From 1999 to 2006, ... -
Urinary incontinence associated with anxiety and depression: the impact of psychotropic drugs in a cross-sectional study from the Norwegian HUNT study
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Background Anxiety and depression are in both cross-sectional and longitudinal studies associated with urinary incontinence (UI) in women, strongest for the urgency component of UI. The role of psychotropic drugs in this ... -

(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2007-04)Objectives: To investigate incidence and prevalence of urinary incontinence during pregnancy, and associated risk factors. Method: The data collection was conducted as part of the Norwegian Mother and Child Cohort Study ... -
Urinary incontinence in pregnancy and postpartum. Incidence, prevalence and risk factors
(Doctoral thesis, 2011-10-26)Urinary incontinence (UI) is a common condition among women. The prevalence of UI is high both during and after pregnancy, and childbearing is an established risk factor for UI among young and middle-aged women. However, ... -
Urinary incontinence in relationship with anxiety and depression in women : An epidemiological study.
(Doctoral thesis, 2020-10-09)Summary: Urinary incontinence (UI) affects a large proportion of women during their lives. Pregnancy and parity, obesity and increasing age are regarded as the most important and best documented risk factors for UI in ... -
Urinary iodine concentration and iodine intake in pregnant Norwegian women. Results from the “Little in Norway” Study (LiN)
(Master thesis, 2015-05-15)Background Iodine is an essential nutrient for the synthesis of thyroid hormones. Inadequate iodine intake is especially critical during pregnancy, lactation and early childhood. Iodine deficiency early in life impairs the ... -
Urinary Leukotriene E4 and Prostaglandin D2 Metabolites Increase in Adult and Childhood Severe Asthma Characterized by Type 2 Inflammation: A Clinical Observational Study
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Rationale: New approaches are needed to guide personalized treatment of asthma. Objectives: To test if urinary eicosanoid metabolites can direct asthma phenotyping. Methods: Urinary metabolites of prostaglandins ... -
Urinary Marker Profiles in Heart Failure with Reduced Versus Preserved Ejection Fraction
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)Background Recent data suggest different causes of renal dysfunction between heart failure with reduced (HFrEF) versus preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). We therefore studied a wide range of urinary markers reflecting ... -
Urinary metabotype of severe asthma evidences decreased carnitine metabolism independent of oral corticosteroid treatment in the U-BIOPRED study
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)Introduction Asthma is a heterogeneous disease with poorly defined phenotypes. Patients with severe asthma often receive multiple treatments including oral corticosteroids (OCS). Treatment may modify the observed metabotype, ... -
Urinary proteomics in chronic kidney disease: diagnosis and risk of progression beyond albuminuria
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2015-08-07)Background: The contrast between a high prevalence of chronic kidney disease (CKD) and the low incidence of end-stage renal disease highlights the need for new biomarkers of progression beyond albuminuria testing. Urinary ... -
