Parental Perceptions of Benefits and Risks Concerning Mental Health Biomarker Testing for Adolescents
Psychiatry currently lacks clinically relevant biomarkers, though recent developments in this field have shown promise. Nevertheless, a noticeable gap exists in understanding parental perspectives regarding such technologies. Thus, this study aimed to investigate parental perceptions about mental health biomarker (MHB) testing for adolescents, as they play a pivotal role in guiding decisions about their children's healthcare. An online survey was…
The Effect of Childhood Trauma on the Alleviation of Transdiagnostic Depressive Symptoms and the Mediating Role of Resilience in Outpatient Adolescents
The online version contains supplementary material available at 10.1007/s40653-025-00728-8
Loneliness, peer relationships, and symptoms of depression affect health care service use in adolescence
Adolescents’ health behavior is promoted by their social relationships, and social isolation may affect their health and use of health care services. No previous studies have examined the quality of social relationships and health care service use from adolescence to young adulthood. We investigated the associations between the quality of the social relationships, depression, and the utilization of primary health care services by adolescents and …
Promotive and preventive interventions for mental health and well-being in adult populations
Introduction: Mental health disorders are increasing worldwide, leading to significant personal, economic, and social consequences. Mental health promotion and prevention have been the subject of many systematic reviews. Thus, decision makers likely face the problem of going through literature to find and utilize the best available evidence. Therefore, this systematic umbrella review aims to evaluate the effectiveness of interventions for promoti…
Change in sense of coherence mediates the association between economic recession and mortality among middle-aged men
A financial recession has been associated with a decrease in all-cause mortality, but little is known about how psychosocial fluctuations in stress tolerance or orientation to life affect this association. Sense of Coherence (SOC) is a core construct in the Salutogenic Model of Health and is determined by generalized resistance resources and measures one's orientation to life by comprehensibility, manageability, and meaningfulness. We followed th…
Sense of Coherence and Mortality
Parental Alcohol Problems, Parental Divorce, and Type 2 Diabetes in Adulthood
OBJECTIVE: Type 2 diabetes is a chronic disease and a serious global public health concern increasing both mortality and morbidity. Previous studies have found evidence for an association between early psychological stress and diabetes later in life. METHODS: This study examined the association between parental alcohol problems and parental divorce and the incidence of type 2 diabetes in Finnish men aged 42 to 61 years (n = 754) in a prospective …
Anodal tDCS Over the Left Prefrontal Cortex Does Not Cause Clinically Significant Changes in Circulating Metabolites
Our study found that five sessions of tDCS induced no major effects on peripheral metabolites among healthy men. These observations support the view of tDCS as a safe treatment that does not induce significant changes in the measured peripheral metabolites in healthy male subjects
Self-reported sleep disturbance and incidence of dementia in ageing men
Background Sleep disturbance is suggested to contribute to the development of dementia. However, prospective longitudinal data from middle-aged populations are scarce. Methods We investigated a population-based sample of 2386 men aged 42–62 years at baseline during 1984–1989. Participants having a history of mental illnesses, psychiatric medication, Parkinson's disease or dementia within 2 years after baseline (n=296) were excluded. Difficulty fa…
Sleep duration and incidence of lung cancer in ageing men
Sleep duration of less than 7-7.5 hours or more than 7-7.5 hours associates with increased lung cancer risk. The physiological factors underlying the association are complex, and they may relate to melatonin excretion patterns, low-grade inflammation in cancer development process or disruptions in circadian rhythmicity
Alexithymia Is Associated With Increased Cardiovascular Mortality in Middle-Aged Finnish Men
Objective: To explore the associations between alexithymia and increased somatic morbidity. The mechanisms underlying these associations, however, are still unclear. Furthermore, data on the association between alexithymia and mortality are scarce. Methods: A total of 2321 Finnish men, aged 46 to 61 years, were followed up for an average of 20 years. Mortality rates were obtained from the national register. The associations between baseline alexi…
Coffee, tea and caffeine intake and the risk of severe depression in middle-aged Finnish men
Objective Only a few cross-sectional studies have assessed the association between coffee, tea and caffeine and the risk of depression. Our aim was to determine the association in a population-based cohort study. Design The population-based Kuopio Ischaemic Heart Disease Risk Factor Study cohort was recruited between 1984 and 1989 and followed until the end of 2006. We investigated the association between the intake of coffee, tea and caffeine an…
Leisure-time physical activity, cardiorespiratory fitness and feelings of hopelessness in men
Moderate and vigorous LTPA and cardiorespiratory fitness were inversely associated with hopelessness in these middle-aged men. These findings suggest that physical inactivity and poor cardiorespiratory fitness is an important associate of hopelessness, a distinct element of low subjective well-being
