| Core Tip |
We sought to determine what health related factors were together associated with later admission for acute colonic diverticulitis. The factors were derived from the North Trondelag Health Study (HUNT2) in Norway, the HUNT2 study, performed during 1995-1997. The study had 42570 participants who used Levanger Hospital as their primary hospital. They were observed until 2012. Following HUNT2, the participants contributed 611492 person-years of follow-up. In all, 358 cases had been admitted with acute colonic diverticulitis. In a multivariable analysis, increasing age and increasing Body Mass Index were associated with increased risk of admission for acute colonic diverticulitis in both gender. In females, cigarette smoking likewise increased the risk of admission. In males, breathlessness, a HUNT variable associated with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease, increased the risk of admission. On the other hand, physical activity, constipation and type of bread eaten showed no association with admission for acute colonic diverticulitis. |
