Long-term effects on physical and mental health and work ability after Covid-19 versus other upper respiratory infections
In 2020 a new coronavirus disease spread to millions of people worldwide causing a pandemic. Some experienced long-term consequences of the infection with prolonged symptoms affecting the ability to function in everyday life. However, it is not known if long-term consequences are different than other infectious diseases. The purpose of this study was to assess whether COVID-19 infection could induce long-term effects on physical and mental health…
Participation in and use of skills development for work ability and expected retirement age
Introduction: Europe's aging population calls for ways to prolong working life. Skills development initiatives could potentially improve work ability and extend working lives and may thus be key to address this challenge. However, the role of skills development in relation to work ability and retirement age is still not fully understood. Aim: This study aims to investigate the association of skills development with work ability and expected retir…
Patterns of health literacy among vulnerable unemployed citizens
Based on the findings interventions may be developed to improve 1) the HL in vulnerable unemployed citizens and 2) the system's ability to accommodate citizens with poor HL. Such interventions could improve the health of the citizens and thus their labor market prospects. Depending on the target group, these should have a broad HL focus or a more specific focus on navigating the healthcare system
Does the association between physical activity during work and leisure and blood pressure differ across sex? A cross-sectional compositional data analysis in a Danish population-based cohort
An integrated approach to health, wellbeing, and productivity at work
ITASPA is retrospectively registered in Clinicaltrials.gov on May 19, 2023 (NCT05866978)
Sun Protection Behavior in Danish Outdoor Workers Following a Multicomponent Intervention
Background Outdoor workers can be exposed to relatively high levels of ultraviolet radiation and are at risk of developing occupational skin cancer. Implementing the use of sun protection in outdoor workers at work is therefore important. The objective of this follow-up study was to evaluate the effect of a multicomponent intervention to improve the use of sun protection in Danish outdoor workers. Method A total of 237 Danish outdoor workers were…
Unrecognized schizophrenia spectrum and other mental disorders in youth disconnected from education and work-life
Psychiatric illness and particularly schizophrenia spectrum disorders affecting social interaction and the ability to take part in educational and work-life were grossly overrepresented in the NEET sample. Our findings suggest that pronounced social disconnection in youth in and of itself should lead to suspect the presence of a severe mental disorder
Validation of a Short-Form Version of the Danish Need for Recovery Scale against the Full Scale
A short-form NFR scale, consisting of three items from the Danish NFR Scale, seems to be an appropriate substitute for the full nine-item scale
Technically measured compositional physical work demands and prospective register-based sickness absence (Podesa)
PODESA provides a unique possibility of unravelling which combinations of physical work demands are associated with prospective sickness absence. PODESA employs technically measured information on physical work demands (taking into account the compositionality of physical work demand data) and prospective sickness absence data. The findings from PODESA can be used to develop strengthened preventive interventions for sickness absence. Results are …
Does workplace health promotion in Denmark reach relevant target groups?
The aim of the current study was to investigate whether Workplace Health Promotion (WHP) is available for workers with poor health status (overweight, musculoskeletal disorders, sickness absence and poor self-rated health) or health behaviour (smoking, poor diet and sedentarism) and whether they participate in WHP. In total, 9835 workers responded to questions regarding availability to 6 different types of WHP through The Danish Work Environment …
