Act with Nature Intervention Supporting Planetary Well-Being
Environmental crises such as climate change are among humanity’s greatest contemporary challenges. Evidence-based interventions are urgently required that will both support human well-being during such crises and facilitate pro-environmental behavior. We developed a nature-based intervention (Act with Nature intervention or program; AWN) that aims to improve human well-being and encourage pro-environmental behavior. Logic models informed by our t…
High need for recovery from work and sleep problems are associated with workers’ unhealthy dietary habits
Objective: We aimed to examine the association of recovery from work and sleep with workers’ dietary habits. Design: Cross-sectional study. Need for recovery (NFR) from work was assessed with a validated questionnaire. Sleep was assessed with five questions from the Nordic Sleep Questionnaire and sleep quality question. Dietary habits were estimated using a validated sixteen food groups-containing questionnaire. Ordered logistic regression was us…
Type 1 long QT syndrome and psychological stress in a laboratory setting
Trait-like sensitivity to stress in long QT syndrome patients has been documented previously. In addition, mental stress has been associated with symptomatic status of long QT syndrome. We examined whether the symptomatic type 1 long QT syndrome patients would be more sensitive to mental stress compared to asymptomatic patients and whether there would be differences in task-related physiological stress reactions between type 1 long QT syndrome pa…
High perceived stress is associated with unfavorable eating behavior in overweight and obese Finns of working age
The effectiveness and applicability of different lifestyle interventions for enhancing wellbeing
Current Clinical Trials NCT01738256, Registered 17 August, 2012
Living alone and antidepressant medication use
These data suggest that people living alone may be at increased risk of developing mental health problems. The public health value is in recognizing that people who live alone are more likely to have material and psychosocial problems that may contribute to excess mental health problems in this population group
The psychophysiology of James Bond
The authors examined emotional valence- and arousal-related phasic psychophysiological responses to different violent events in the first-person shooter video game "James Bond 007: NightFire" among 36 young adults. Event-related changes in zygomaticus major, corrugator supercilii, and orbicularis oculi electromyographic (EMG) activity and skin conductance level (SCL) were recorded, and the participants rated their emotions and the trait psychotic…
Childhood Hyperactivity as a Predictor of Carotid Artery Intima Media Thickness Over a Period of 21 Years
OBJECTIVE: We investigated whether childhood temperament was able to predict carotid artery intima media thickness (IMT) and/or its risk factors in adulthood 21 years later. METHODS: The subjects were the three youngest age cohorts of the population-based sample of the Cardiovascular Risk in Young Finns study, i.e., those who were aged 3 to 9 years (n = 708) at the baseline. IMT was assessed by ultrasound, and temperament in terms of negative emo…
The longitudinal effects of social support and hostility on depressive tendencies
Depressive Symptoms and Carotid Artery Intima-Media Thickness in Young Adults
OBJECTIVE: Depression and coronary heart disease are often comorbid conditions, but the mechanism behind this link is largely unknown. We tested the hypothesis that a high level of depressive symptoms in healthy young adults would be related to more prevalent preclinical atherosclerosis. METHODS: We studied the association between depressive symptoms and carotid atherosclerosis in 1126 young adults (410 men and 716 women) as part of the ongoing p…
