Leisure time physical activity in middle age predicts the metabolic syndrome in old age: results of a 28-year follow-up of men in the Oslo study
BMC Public Health, 2007Co-Authors: Ingar Holme, Serena Tonstad, Anne Johanne Sogaard, Per G Lund Larsen, Lise Lund HaheimAbstract:Background Data are scarce on the long term relationship between leisure time physical activity, smoking and development of metabolic syndrome and diabetes. We wanted to investigate the relationship between leisure time physical activity and smoking measured in middle age and the occurrence of the metabolic syndrome and diabetes in men that participated in two cardiovascular screenings of the Oslo Study 28 years apart. Methods Men residing in Oslo and born in 1923–32 (n = 16 209) were screened for cardiovascular diseases and risk factors in 1972/3. Of the original cohort, those who also lived in same area in 2000 were invited to a repeat screening examination, attended by 6 410 men. The metabolic syndrome was defined according to a modification of the National Cholesterol Education Program criteria. Leisure time physical activity, smoking, Educational Attendance and the presence of diabetes were self-reported. Results Leisure time physical activity decreased between the first and second screening and tracked only moderately between the two time points (Spearman's ρ = 0.25). Leisure time physical activity adjusted for age and Educational Attendance was a significant predictor of both the metabolic syndrome and diabetes in 2000 (odds ratio for moderately vigorous versus sedentary/light activity was 0.65 [95% CI, 0.54–0.80] for the metabolic syndrome and 0.68 [0.52–0.91] for diabetes) (test for trend P < 0.05). However, when adjusted for more factors measured in 1972/3 including glucose, triglycerides, body mass index, treated hypertension and systolic blood pressure these associations were markedly attenuated. Smoking was associated with the metabolic syndrome but not with diabetes in 2000. Conclusion Physical activity during leisure recorded in middle age prior to the current waves of obesity and diabetes had an independent predictive association with the presence of the metabolic syndrome but not significantly so with diabetes 28 years later in life, when the subjects were elderly.

Repeated Weight Loss is Associated with the Metabolic Syndrome and Diabetes: Results of a 28 Year Re-screening of Men in the Oslo Study.
Metabolic syndrome and related disorders, 2007Co-Authors: Ingar Holme, Anne Johanne Sogaard, Per G Lund Larsen, Lise Lund Haheim, Serena TonstadAbstract:We investigated whether weight loss episodes were associated with the metabolic syndrome and diabetes in elderly men. Men residing in Oslo and born in 1923-32 (n = 16,209) were screened for cardiovascular diseases and risk factors in 1972-73. Those who resided in the same area in the year 2000 were invited to a repeat physical and laboratory examination, attended by 6 410 men (mean age 72.5 years). Weight, height and blood pressure were measured both times, and a non-fasting measurements of total serum cholesterol, triglycerides and glucose were obtained. Weight loss, leisure time physical activity, smoking habits, and Educational Attendance were self-reported. The proportion that reported one or more episodes of weight loss at age 25-50 years was 15.6% (n = 3,564 respondents) while 26.8% reported weight loss after age 50 (n = 3,473 respondents). Age-specific weight loss scores based on the number of the episodes of weight loss or on the total amount of weight loss were strongly associated with the presence of obesity, the metabolic syndrome and diabetes in the year 2000. The risk of the metabolic syndrome and diabetes in 2000 increased with increasing number of weight loss episodes also adjusted for BMI in 1972-73 and other potential confounders. The odds ratio for the metabolic syndrome for one standard deviation change in the number of weight loss episodes after age 50 was 1.43 (95% confidence limits 1.30-1.57). The corresponding odds ratio for diabetes was 1.25 (95% confidence limits 1.14-1.37). Similar results were found using a score for the total amount of weight loss. Among elderly men the number of episodes or amount of weight loss after age 50 was associated with the metabolic syndrome and diabetes, but this study cannot establish the causality of the association.

the oslo health study the impact of self selection in a large population based survey
International Journal for Equity in Health, 2004Co-Authors: Anne Johanne Sogaard, Randi Selmer, Espen Bjertness, Dag S ThelleAbstract:Background: Research on health equity which mainly utilises population-based surveys, may be hampered by serious selection bias due to a considerable number of invitees declining to participate. Sufficient information from all the non-responders is rarely available to quantify this bias. Predictors of Attendance, magnitude and direction of non-response bias in prevalence estimates and association measures, are investigated based on information from all 40 888 invitees to the Oslo Health Study. Methods: The analyses were based on linkage between public registers in Statistics Norway and the Oslo Health Study, a population-based survey conducted in 2000/2001 inviting all citizens aged 30, 40, 45, 59–60 and 75–76 years. Attendance was 46%. Weighted analyses, logistic regression and sensitivity analyses are performed to evaluate possible selection bias. Results: The response rate was positively associated with age, Educational Attendance, total income, female gender, married, born in a Western county, living in the outer city residential regions and not receiving disability benefit. However, self-rated health, smoking, BMI and mental health (HCSL) in the attendees differed only slightly from estimated prevalence values in the target population when weighted by the inverse of the probability of Attendance. Observed values differed only moderately provided that the non-attending individuals differed from those attending by no more than 50%. Even though persons receiving disability benefit had lower Attendance, the associations between disability and education, residential region and marital status were found to be unbiased. The association between country of birth and disability benefit was somewhat more evident among attendees. Conclusions: Self-selection according to sociodemographic variables had little impact on prevalence estimates. As indicated by disability benefit, unhealthy persons attended to a lesser degree than healthy individuals, but social inequality in health by different sociodemographic variables seemed unbiased. If anything we would expect an overestimation of the odds ratio of chronic disease among persons born in non-western countries.
