Vår tilgang til Tromsøundersøkelsenes kartlegging av livsstilsfaktorer,</p><p align="left">risikofaktorer for hjerte-kar sykdom samt flere kliniske- og laboratoriemålinger i befolkningen gjennom de</p><p align="left">siste 20 år gjør TROST til en unik studie i verdenssammenheng. Pr 1. oktober 1995 vil vi ha undersøkt</p><p align="left">bentetthet i underarm hos ca. 8 000 personer. De fire delprosjektene som drives under TROST tar for seg</p><p align="left">bentetthet, biokjemiske markører for osteoporose, klinisk osteoporose og brudd. En nærmere presentasjon</p><p align="left">av hvert prosjekt gis i teksten.</p><p align="left">Berntsen GKR, Midtby M, Ringberg TM, Joakimsen RM, Magnus JH, Tollan A, Fønnebø V, Søgaard AJ.</p></span></span><strong><span style="font-size: x-small; font-family: TimesNewRomanPS-BoldMT;"><span style="font-size: x-small; font-family: TimesNewRomanPS-BoldMT;"><strong><span style="font-size: x-small; font-family: TimesNewRomanPS-BoldMT;"><span style="font-size: x-small; font-family: TimesNewRomanPS-BoldMT;"><p align="left">Research on osteoporosis in Tromsø.</p></span></span></strong></span><strong><span style="font-size: x-small; font-family: TimesNewRomanPS-BoldMT;"><p align="left"> </p></span></strong></span><strong><span style="font-size: x-small; font-family: TimesNewRomanPS-BoldMT;"><span style="font-size: x-small; font-family: TimesNewRomanPS-BoldMT;">ENGLISH SUMMARY</span></span></strong><span style="font-size: x-small; font-family: TimesNewRomanPSMT;"><span style="font-size: x-small; font-family: TimesNewRomanPSMT;"><p align="left">The Tromsø Osteoporosis Study (TROST) is part of the fourth large population based study being</p><p align="left">conducted in Tromsø, Norway.
