    Abstract Since 1993, dietary assessment has been carried out in Greenland as part of recurrent population health surveys. In preparation for the next survey in 2024, 91 participants from the survey in 2018 were selected for a validation study of the Food Frequency Questionnaire (FFQ). The 91 participants were reinterviewed 38-50 months after the first FFQ and invited to complete a food diary. As part of the 2018 survey, blood was analysed for mercury. The food diary was completed by 65 participants. The agreement between the two FFQ interviews was very good for macronutrients and fatty acids (

    Abstract Income inequality affects population health and wellbeing negatively. In Greenland, health inequality has been shown to exist among social groups, regionally and according to urbanization, and between Inuit and migrants from Denmark. The purpose of the study was to compare the changes in health inequality from 1993 to 2018 according to three measures of social position, i.e. a socioeconomic measure (household assets), a measure of urbanization and a composite sociocultural index. We hypothesized that social inequality in health increased parallel to the increasing economic inequality in Greenland. The sample was based on four population health surveys conducted among the Inuit in Greenland in 1993, 2005-2010, 2014 and 2018. The total number of interviews was 9024 and the total number of individuals interviewed was 5829, as participants were invited to several surveys as part of a cohort. As statistical measure of social disparity we used the slope index of inequality (SII) adjusted for age and sex. Analyses were performed with daily smoking, suicidal thoughts and obesity as health outcomes. Daily smoking was most prevalent among participants with low social position whereas obesity was most prevalent among participants with high social position. With household assets as indicator of social position, the results showed high and increasing social inequality for both daily smoking and obesity. Social inequality for daily smoking increased over time also for urbanization and the sociocultural index. The hypothesis that social inequality increased over time was thus confirmed for daily smoking and obesity but not for suicidal thoughts. With the results from the present study there is solid evidence to guide prevention and health care towards social equality in health.

    Abstract Objective: Dietary transition, obesity and risky use of alcohol and tobacco are challenges to public health among indigenous peoples. The aim of the article was to explore the role of social position in dietary patterns and expenditures on food and other commodities.
    Design: Countrywide population health survey.
    Setting: Greenland.
    Participants: 2436 Inuit aged 15+ years.
    Results: Less than half of the expenditures on commodities (43 %) were used to buy nutritious food, and the remaining to buy non-nutritious food (21 %), alcoholic beverages (18 %) and tobacco (18 %). Participants were classified according to five dietary patterns. The cost of a balanced diet and an unhealthy diet was similar, but the cost per 1000 kJ was higher and the energy consumption was lower for the balanced diet. Participants with low social position chose the unhealthy pattern more often than those with high social position (40 % v. 24 %; P < 0·0001), whereas those with high social position more often chose the balanced alternative. Participants with low social position spent less money on the total food basket than those with high social position but more on non-nutritious food, alcohol and tobacco.
    Conclusions: Cost seems to be less important than other mechanisms in the shaping of social dietary patterns and the use of alcohol and tobacco among the Inuit in Greenland. Rather than increasing the price of non-nutritious food or subsidising nutritious food, socially targeted interventions and public health promotion regarding food choice and prevention of excessive alcohol use and smoking are needed to change the purchase patterns.

    Abstract A drinking pattern characterised by occasional excessive drinking is a key challenge for public health in Greenland. The objective was to examine sex-specific time trends in drinking patterns among Greenland Inuit. Cross-sectional and cohort data from geographically representative health surveys in 1993, 2005-2010 and 2014 were included (n = 4,938). Drinking patterns were defined as abstainer, non-problematic and occasional binge drinking. Patterns were analysed by sex-specific crude proportions and logistical analyses according to age, birth cohort and calendar time, accounting for region and settlement type. More than half of the men and one-third of the women had an occasional binge drinking pattern, while 22.6% of females and 15.1% of men were abstainers. Abstention increased with increasing age, while occasional binge drinking decreased among men. Younger male birth cohorts were less likely to have an occasional binge drinking pattern, while the youngest females had the highest odds ratio. A drinking pattern characterised by occasional excessive use remains a key challenge for public health in Greenland with age as a strong predictor. A high prevalence of abstainers co-exists with a high prevalence of occasional binge drinking. The increased odds ratio for occasional binge drinking among younger females should be addressed further.

    Abstract Muscle strength is an important predictor for function and mortality among older adults.

Neither test has been carried out among the Inuit before. We present reference values for men and women as means with standard deviations and medians with 10
