Reversals in past long-term trends in educational inequalities in life expectancy for selected European countries
BACKGROUND: Across Europe, socioeconomic inequalities in mortality are large and persistent. To better understand the drivers of past trends in socioeconomic mortality inequalities, we identified phases and potential reversals in long-term trends in educational inequalities in remaining life expectancy at age 30 (e30), and assessed the contributions of mortality changes among the low-educated and the high-educated at different ages. METHODS: We u…
The Well-Being of Adolescents Conceived Through Medically Assisted Reproduction
Medically assisted reproduction (MAR) plays an increasingly important role in the realization of fertility intentions in advanced societies, yet the evidence regarding MAR-conceived children’s longer-term well-being remains inconclusive. Using register data on all Finnish children born in 1995–2000, we compared a range of social and mental health outcomes among MAR- and naturally conceived adolescents in population-averaged estimates, and within …
Physical health conditions and subsequent union separation
BACKGROUND: Studies that assess the role of physical health conditions on separation risk are scarce and mostly lack health information on both partners. It is unclear how the association between physical illness and separation risk varies by type of illness, gender of the ill spouse and age of the couple. METHODS: We used Finnish register data on 127 313 couples to examine how neurological conditions, heart and lung disease, and cancer are assoc…
Partner resources and incidence and survival in two major causes of death
Because people tend to marry social equals - and possibly also because partners affect each other's health - the social position of one partner is associated with the other partner's health and mortality. Although this link is fairly well established, the underlying mechanisms are not fully identified. Analyzing disease incidence and survival separately may help us to assess when in the course of the disease a partner's resources are of most sign…
Contribution of smoking-attributable mortality to life-expectancy differences by marital status among Finnish men and women, 1971-2010
BACKGROUND: Smoking is known to vary by marital status, but little is known about its contribution to marital status differences in longevity. We examined the changing contribution of smoking to mortality differences between married and never married, divorced or widowed Finnish men and women aged 50 years and above in 1971-2010. DATA AND METHODS: The data sets cover all persons permanently living in Finland in the census years 1970, 1975 through…
Amenable mortality by household income and living arrangements
BACKGROUND: Mortality amenable to healthcare interventions has increasingly been used as an indirect indicator of the effect of healthcare on health inequalities. Studies have consistently shown socioeconomic differences in amenable mortality, but evidence on the joint effects of multiple socioeconomic and demographic factors is limited. We examined whether income and living arrangements have an independent effect on amenable mortality taking int…
The contribution of health policy and care to income differences in life expectancy – a register based cohort study
The results underline the importance of active health policy and health care measures in tackling socioeconomic health inequalities
Changing associations between partnership history and risk of accidents, violence and suicides
BACKGROUND: Lower mortality has been systematically found in married when compared with non-married, especially in men, but little is known about marital status differences in mortality from external causes. Furthermore, the role of cohabitation and partnership history in the formation of these differences and how they have been changed over time are poorly understood. METHODS: The incidence of fatal and non-fatal cases of accidents, violence and…
The burden of diabetes mortality in Finland 1988-2007 - A brief report
In order to further reduce the burden of diabetes a better treatment balance to prevent diabetes complications would significantly decrease the burden of diabetes mortality. Use of underlying and contributory causes of death is useful in monitoring trends and sub-group differences in the burden of diabetes
