Correction: Health-promoting behaviors in older adulthood and intrinsic capacity 10 years later: the HUNT study - BMC Public Health
Of the health-promoting behaviors measured in HUNT 3, the highest risk observed was from low fruit and vegetable intake (47.2%), low intake of milk (46.7%), and lack of physical activity (31.1%). Of the individual domains of intrinsic capacity in HUNT4, most impairment was seen in the domains of locomotion (29.7%), hearing (11.1%) and vitality (8.3%). Overall, the score on both the HLI and ICI was high.
Health-promoting behaviors in older adulthood and intrinsic capacity 10 years later: the HUNT study - BMC Public Health
In this study we aimed to explore if adherence to health-promoting behaviors in older adulthood was associated with improved intrinsic capacity at ten year follow up. We found that even when controlling for known predictors of lower adherence to guidelines for healthy living and lower functional ability, closer adherence to guidelines for healthy living was associated with higher intrinsic capacity ten years later.
Comparing associations of handgrip strength and chair stand performance with all-cause mortality-implications for defining probable sarcopenia: the Tromsø Study 2015-2020 | BMC Medicine | Full Text
The study sample was drawn from the seventh survey of the population-based Tromsø Study (Tromsø7), which took place during 2015–2016 in Tromsø, Norway. The data collection procedures have been described in detail elsewhere [17]. In summary, all inhabitants in Tromsø municipality aged 40 years and older (n = 32,591) were invited to participate, and 21,083 (65%) of these attended basic examinations.
Fish intake and pre-frailty in Norwegian older adults - a prospective cohort study: the Tromsø Study 1994–2016 - BMC Geriatrics
In the present prospective cohort study, we found that a higher frequency of (lean, fatty and total) fish intake was significantly associated with lower odds of physical pre-frailty after 8 years in older community-dwelling adults in Norway. Moreover, a pattern of consistent high frequency of total fish intake over 21 years was associated with lower odds of pre-frailty. Overall, the main study population was a relatively healthy sample of older residents in Tromsø, Northern Norway.
