Validation of the Body Appreciation Scale - 2, and its short form in Danish youth (aged 15–25) with subgroup score comparison
Research interest in positive body image has increased in recent years, marking a shift away from a traditional focus on negative body image. We aimed to examine the psychometric properties of the Body Appreciation Scale 2 (BAS-2) and its short form (BAS-2SF) in a Danish sample aged 15-25 years and explore their level of measurement invariance across age and gender groups. In this cross-sectional study, respondents completed an online survey that…
Health, Psychological Distress, and Functioning During the Covid-19 Pandemic Among Danish Adults with and Without a Preexisting Mental Illness
The aim of this paper was to evaluate health, psychological distress, and functioning during the COVID-19 pandemic among Danish adults with and without a history of mental illness. Data were drawn from three online surveys conducted in May 2020 (n = 3134), January 2021 (n = 1170), and January 2022 (n = 1174) as part of the Danish contribution to the Collaborative Outcomes study on Health and Functioning during Infection Times (COH-FIT). The preva…

Are physical activity, sleep, and joint pain associated with physical function and quality of life in individuals with multimorbidity? A cross-sectional analysis of the Mobilize trial
This study investigated the associations between physical activity, sleep, and joint pain intensity with physical function and health-related quality of life (HrQoL) in people with multimorbidity. A pre-specified cross-sectional study using baseline data from participants with multimorbidity in the MOBILZE trial. Outcomes were physical function (6-minute walk test) and HrQoL (EQ-5D-5 L). Exposures were device-measured physical activity (min/week)…
Healthcare use in 12-18-year-old adolescents vaccinated against Sars-CoV-2 versus unvaccinated in a national register-based Danish cohort
Burden of disease scenarios for 204 countries and territories, 2022–2050
BACKGROUND: Future trends in disease burden and drivers of health are of great interest to policy makers and the public at large. This information can be used for policy and long-term health investment, planning, and prioritisation. We have expanded and improved upon previous forecasts produced as part of the Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries, and Risk Factors Study (GBD) and provide a reference forecast (the most likely future), and alternativ…
Global burden of 288 causes of death and life expectancy decomposition in 204 countries and territories and 811 subnational locations, 1990–2021
BACKGROUND: Regular, detailed reporting on population health by underlying cause of death is fundamental for public health decision making. Cause-specific estimates of mortality and the subsequent effects on life expectancy worldwide are valuable metrics to gauge progress in reducing mortality rates. These estimates are particularly important following large-scale mortality spikes, such as the COVID-19 pandemic. When systematically analysed, mort…
Effectiveness of a peer-to-peer, self-management intervention for young people with depression and anxiety in Denmark
Objective: This study investigated the effectiveness of a 7-weeks peer-to-peer program for young people aged 15 to 25 years with depression or anxiety symptoms in Denmark. Methods: A total of 483 participants (72% women) participated in the program and the evaluation. The participants completed questionnaires at baseline, postintervention, and at 5-month follow-up to assess changes in depression symptoms (using Beck's Depression Inventory-II), an…
Social Media Addiction Predicts Compromised Mental Health as well as Perceived and Objective Social Isolation in Denmark
Social media addiction has previously been linked to compromised mental health and social isolation; however, most studies are cross-sectional or based on convenience samples. The objective of the current study was to assess the extent to which social media addiction predicts compromised mental health and social isolation (including bi-directionality) in a large prospective sample of Danish adults. Data stem from a nationwide longitudinal Danish …
Preventing Stress among High School Students in Denmark through the Multicomponent Healthy High School Intervention—The Effectiveness at First Follow-Up
Stress is a widespread phenomenon and young people especially are experiencing high levels of stress. School-related factors are the most frequently self-reported stressors among adolescents, but few interventions have targeted the school environment. This study evaluated the effectiveness of the Healthy High School (HHS) intervention on stress at a 9-month follow-up. The study included 5201 first-year high school students (~16 years) in Denmark.…
Effectiveness of the multi-component intervention ‘Focus’ on reducing smoking among students in the vocational education setting
https://www.isrctn.com/ISRCTN16455577 , date of registration 14/06/2018
Trends in smoking-related diseases by socioeconomic position following a national smoking ban in 2007
The national smoking ban was not associated with a lower incidence of smoking-related diseases in the post-ban period compared to pre-ban levels and no differences between socioeconomic groups were observed. Future tobacco control in Denmark should consider which measures most effectively target the low socioeconomic groups to decrease the current strong socioeconomic inequality in health
Implementing a peer-to-peer, self-management intervention for young people with depression and anxiety in Denmark
Coping with Anxiety and Depression constitutes a feasible peer-to-peer, group-based community programme that is well-received by its target group. Recruitment and retention of participants and instructors is challenging but doable
Parental Illness and Life Satisfaction among Young People
Parental illness is a strong predictor of low life satisfaction among adolescents; the impact depends on number of ill parents, whether parental illness is physical or mental, and their level of impairment. Positive school experiences were less frequent in adolescents of ill parents and did not counteract the effect of parental illness on life satisfaction
Study Protocol for Evaluation of an Extended Maintenance Intervention on Life Satisfaction and BMI Among 7–14-Year-Old Children Following a Stay at a Residential Health Camp in Denmark
Background: It is challenging to maintain effects of public health interventions. For residential health camps benefits often disappear as the child returns home. Furthermore, long-term effects are often not measured or reported. This paper presents the study protocol for an evaluation of an extended maintenance intervention offered to children who have completed a 10-week residential health camp at one of the five Danish Christmas Seal Houses (D…
Emergence of a mortality disparity between a marginal rural area and the rest of Denmark, 1968-2017
This study is the first to report on increasing geographical segregation in all-cause mortality in a Nordic welfare state. Development of the mortality disparity between Lolland-Falster and the rest of Denmark followed changes in agriculture, industrial company closure, a shipyard close-down, administrative centralisation, and a decreasing population size
‘High schools High on life’
Background: Clear documentation of the understanding of the problem, process of development, and content of interventions is essential to enable other researchers to understand why interventions succeed or fail and to enable researcher to build on previous evidence and replicate and adapt findings in other contexts. In this paper we describe the rationale, intervention development, and final design of the ‘High schools High on life' intervention;…
Measuring HRQoL following heart valve surgery
Patient-specific versus Organisational Barriers to Program Adherence
We found that adherence was strongly related to organisational factors. Adherence differed significantly at all organisational levels (hospital, municipality, general practice), thus indicating challenges in the vertical integration of care. Gender influenced adherence as the only patient-related factor

Danish registers on personal labour market affiliation
INTRODUCTION: Statistics Denmark has a number of registers about labour market affiliation, which includes information on employees, establishments and the relation between employees and establishments. CONTENT: The registers describe a person's attachment to the labour market, information on the establishments and information on the relations between persons and establishments. The registers presented either include information at one specific p…
Quantification of the healthy worker effect
In this nationwide study, employment as electricians had marked effect on mortality. Appropriate reference selection and lag time analyses minimized the HWE bias
A philosophical analysis of the Hill criteria
The epidemiological literature contains an ongoing and diversified discussion of the Hill criteria. This article offers a philosophical analysis of the criteria, showing that the criteria are related to two different views of causality. The authors argue that the criteria of strength, specificity, consistency, experiment, and biological gradient are related to a probabilistic regularity view of causality, whereas the criteria of coherence, plausi…
Modelling regional variation of first-time births in Denmark 1980-1994 by an age-period-cohort model
Despite the small size of Denmark, there have traditionally been rather consistent regional differences in fertility rates. We apply the statistical age-period-cohort model to include the effect of these three time-related factors thereby concisely ill
