Differential use of antidiabetic medication related to income, cohabitation and area of residence
BACKGROUND: Poor adherence to antidiabetic medication in individuals with type 2 diabetes (T2D) may lead to increased risk of morbidity and mortality. Socioeconomic and demographic factors associated with non-adherence have been mainly identified via cross-sectional studies. To investigate the association between antidiabetic medication adherence and income, cohabitation and area of residence. METHODS: Register-based cohort study of individuals w…
Ideal cardiovascular health and risk of death in a large Swedish cohort
The strong inverse association between number of ideal CVH metrics and risk of death supports the application of the proposed seven metrics for individual risk assessment and general health promotion
Patterns of item nonresponse behaviour to survey questionnaires are systematic and associated with genetic loci
Response to survey questionnaires is vital for social and behavioural research, and most analyses assume full and accurate response by participants. However, nonresponse is common and impedes proper interpretation and generalizability of results. We examined item nonresponse behaviour across 109 questionnaire items in the UK Biobank ( N = 360,628). Phenotypic factor scores for two participant-selected nonresponse answers, ‘Prefer not to answer’ (…
Association between total and leisure time physical activity and risk of myocardial infarction and stroke – a Swedish cohort study
Total physical activity was inversely associated with the risk of myocardial infarction in women, while leisure time physical activity was inversely associated with the risk of myocardial infarction and stroke in men
Alcohol consumption and site-specific cancer risk
BACKGROUND: Alcohol is a risk factor for cancer of the oral cavity, pharynx, oesophagus, colorectum, liver, larynx and female breast, whereas its impact on other cancers remains controversial. METHODS: We investigated the effect of alcohol on 23 cancer types through a meta-analytic approach. We used dose-response meta-regression models and investigated potential sources of heterogeneity. RESULTS: A total of 572 studies, including 486 538 cancer c…
Mediation analysis in epidemiology
In epidemiological studies it is often necessary to disentangle the pathways that link an exposure to an outcome. Typically the aim is to identify the total effect of the exposure on the outcome, the effect of the exposure that acts through a given set of mediators of interest (indirect effect) and the effect of the exposure unexplained by those same mediators (direct effect). The traditional approach to mediation analysis is based on adjusting f…
The Nordic Nutrition Recommendations and prostate cancer risk in the Cancer of the Prostate in Sweden (Caps) study
Objective The Nordic Nutrition Recommendations (NNR) aim at preventing diet-associated diseases such as cancer in the Nordic countries. We evaluated adherence to the NNR in relation to prostate cancer (PC) in Swedish men, including potential interaction with a genetic risk score and with lifestyle factors. Design Population-based case–control study (Cancer of the Prostate in Sweden (CAPS), 2001–2002). Using data from a semi-quantitative FFQ, we c…
The influence of socioeconomic environment on the effectiveness of alcohol prevention among European students

Sample selection and validity of exposure–disease association estimates in cohort studies
BACKGROUND: Participants in cohort studies are frequently selected from restricted source populations. It has been recognised that such restriction may affect the study validity. OBJECTIVES: To assess the bias that may arise when analyses involve data from cohorts based on restricted source populations, an area little studied in quantitative terms. METHODS: Monte Carlo simulations were used, based on a setting where the exposure and one risk fact…
Ethnic disparities in child health in Nigeria
Each ethnic group has its own peculiar cultural practices that may widen inequalities in child health and survival among ethnic groups. This study estimated ethnic disparities in mortality of under‐five‐year‐olds, controlling for individual and community level characteristics. Using multilevel multivariable regression analysis on a nationally representative sample drawn from 7,864 households in the 2003 Nigeria Demographic and Health Survey, we e…
