Factors associated with the subjective health complaints among adolescents: Results from the ASSO Project
2019
Objectives. Subjective health complaints (e.g. headache and feeling low) are common among adolescents. The objective of this study was to identify the factors associated with the subjective health of adolescents from a population-based point of view. Material and methods. A sample of 712 students was recruited within the web-based Project ASSO (Adolescents and Surveillance System for the Obesity prevention), funded by the Italian Ministry of Health and piloted in Palermo. A 0-100 quantitative score (arbitrarily named "psychosomatic malaise index") based on the frequency of occurrence of seven subjective health complaints was created and used as outcome; socio-demographic characteristics, me…

Metabolic response to 6-week aerobic exercise training and dieting in previously sedentary overweight and obese pre-menopausal women: A randomized tr…
2014
AbstractBackground: The aim of this study was to compare 6 weeks short-term moderate intensity aerobic exercise and dieting on serum metabolomicsand cardio-metabolic risk factors in pre-menopausal women.Methods: Ninety previously inactive overweight and obese (BMI 25e35 kg/m 2 ) women (age 41.5 7.6 years) were randomized to either a6-week Nordic walking exercise program (EX, n ¼ 45) or dietary counseling group (DI, n ¼ 45). Body composition, serum glucose, insulin andlipids were measured. Serum low-molecular-weight metabolites and lipid constituents were analyzed by nuclear magnetic resonance spec-troscopy. Measurements were done at baseline and 7 days after the last training session.Result…
Do Obese Children Achieve Maximal Heart Rate during Treadmill Running?
2019
Objective: Maximal heart rate (HR) is commonly defined as the highest HR obtained during a progressive exercise test to exhaustion. Maximal HR is considered one of the criteria to assess maximum exertion in exercise tests, and is broadly used when prescribing exercise intensity. The aim of the present study was to compare peak HR measurements during maximal treadmill running and active play in obese children and adolescents. Design: Comparison of peak heart rate during active play vs. maximal treadmill running in 39 (7&ndash
Effect of aerobic exercise on insulin resistance and central adiposity disappeared after the discontinuation of intervention in overweight women
2016
Purpose: This study aimed to assess whether the benefits of exercise on central adiposity and insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) are maintained after discontinuation of intervention in the overweight/obese (OWOB) women. Methods: The study subjects were from 2 independent studies with similar aerobic exercise (AE) intervention programs. In study I, 15 OWOB postmenopausal women with pre-diabetes (body mass index, BMI = 24–33 kg/m2 , aged 52–65 years) completed an 8-month exercise intervention and were followed for 2 years after the intervention. In study II, 12 OWOB (BMI = 25–35 kg/m2 , aged 30–50 years) premenopausal women participated in a 6-week AE and were followed for 4 years after the interve…
Reliability and validity of time domain heart rate variability during daily rout¡ne activities : an alternative to the morning orthostatic test?
2017
Summary Study aim: To determine the reliability and validity of a time domain heart rate variability (HRV) index during free-living physical activity (FLPA). Material and methods: Eight white-collar workers participated in this study. RR intervals (time between consecutive R-peaks of the PQRS complex) were recorded using the Polar V800 heart rate (HR) monitor upon awakening and at work on 16 different days. A total of 127 cycles of sitting periods followed by walking breaks were included for consecutive pairwise analysis for reliability. The HR values from the orthostatic test (OT) were compared with the corresponding values at work. Results: The HR values showed high levels of repeatabilit…
The Effect of 16-Minute Thermal Stress and 2-Minute Cold Water Immersion on the Physiological Parameters of Young Sedentary Men
2020
This study aimed to determine the effect of 16 minutes of thermal stress followed by 2 minutes of cold water immersion on the physiological parameters of fifty-five sedentary men (mean age 20.15±1.30 years), who were exposed to 16 minutes of sauna (temperature: 90-91℃; relative humidity: 14-16%) followed by 2 minutes of cold water immersion (12℃). The participants' somatic characteristics were determined before entering the sauna, and their body mass and blood pressure were measured before and after sauna treatment. Physiological parameters were monitored during the 16-minute sauna session and the 2-minute cold water immersion (CRIO) or shower. The subjects perspired 0.21-0.27 litres during…
Understanding the relationship between subjective health complaints and satisfaction with life for people in prevocational training in Norway
2021
Background and aim: In Norway, a large part of the population is dependent on disability benefits. The main reasons for this are related to long-term musculoskeletal pain and psychological complaints. Prevocational rehabilitation, aimed at increasing participation in working life, targets people in need of a sheltered vocational environment. This group has been found to report a very high level of health complaints. Therefore, a better understanding of the psychological mechanisms affecting satisfaction with life for people who experience subjective health complaints could be important for tailoring more optimal vocational rehabilitation initiatives for these individuals. This study aimed t…
Kirker, korona og nettbaserte gudstjenester
2021
Sammendrag Store deler av Norge ble digitale da landet nærmest stengte ned våren 2020. Denne artikkelen dreier seg om hva som skjedde da kirker og menigheter byttet kirkerommet med det digitale rom som følge av korona-pandemien. Det ble holdt gudstjenester og til og med «servert» kirkekaffe på nett. Artikkelen bygger på en undersøkelse som viser at 72 % av norske kirker og menigheter produserte nettbaserte samlinger under koronakrisen. 749 kirkeledere i hele Norge har deltatt i den omfattende kartleggingen som fant sted fra 15. april til 10. mai 2020. Dette utgjør om lag en tredel av alle registrerte menigheter og kristne forsamlinger i landet. I artikkelen presenterer og diskuterer vi f…
Fastlegers informasjonsbehov ved medisinsk avstandsoppfølging : En kvalitativ studie
2019
Masteroppgave helse- og sosialinformatikk HSI500 - Universitetet i Agder 2019 Bakgrunn:For å møte den fremtidige økningen i forekomsten av ikke-smittsomme kroniske sykdommerhar Norge prøvd utmedisinsk avstandsoppfølging siden2016. Resultatene så langt viser en økt trygghet, samt følelse av oppfølging og kontroll over egen helse hos pasientene. Det understrekes at det å involvere fastleger i tjenestene har vært utfordrende(Helsedirektoratet, 2018a). Videreutprøvingble startet opp i 2018 og er planlagt å fortsette til og med2021. Hensikt:Formålet med denne masteroppgaven er å bidra med kunnskap om hvordan IKT best mulig kan understøtte fastlegenes tiltenkte rolle som koordinator i medisinsk a…
