Declarations
:
: The study was approved by the Norwegian South East Regional Ethics Committee for Medical Research (2014/188). Approval date 05.03.2014.
: Each participant provided written consent (the children themselves if aged ≥ 16 years and the parents/guardians of children aged < 16 years together with the children’s assent).
: During the revision of the paper, the authors used an AI language model developed by OpenAI, which is based on GPT-4 technology provided by Oslo Metropolitan University to check spelling and punctuation. No external commercial editing support was used.
: Part of this work has been presented at the Annual European Congress of Rheumatology (EULAR) 2023 in Milan, Italy. Risum K, Olarescu NC, Godang K, Marstein HS, Bollerslev J, Sanner H. Visceral adipose tissue and adipokines/cytokines in juvenile idiopathic arthritis. Annals of the rheumatic diseases. Volume 82. Suppl 1. . The current article builds upon and extends the research presented in the PhD dissertation by Kristine Risum, titled “Physical activity and physical fitness in juvenile idiopathic arthritis”, University of Oslo, Norway, 2021. The dissertation focused on physical fitness and physical activity in patients with JIA. One of the central themes of the dissertation was body composition, which included analyses of total body fat and muscle mass. Although visceral adipose tissue was not a primary focus in the dissertation, it is a natural extension of the research on body composition. The current article specifically examines total body fat mass, visceral adipose tissue, cytokines, adipokines and lipids in the same participant cohort used in the PhD dissertation. The authors state that no part of this manuscript, including the text and graphics, are copied or published/archived elsewhere in whole or in part.
