Severity of post-stroke functional disability and risk for depression and anxiety among patients' partners and adult children
Cost-effectiveness of preventive Covid-19 interventions
Job Quality in the Late Career in Sweden, Japan and the United States
Increasing numbers of older workers continue to work after being eligible to claim a state pension, yet little is known about the quality of these jobs. We examine how psychosocial and physical job quality as well as job satisfaction vary over the late career in three contrasting national settings: Sweden, Japan and the United States. Analyses using random effects modelling drew on data from the Swedish Longitudinal Occupational Survey of Health …
Trends in health and health inequality during the Japanese economic stagnation
Although this study was a case study of one country, Japan, and inference to other countries cannot be made with certainty, the findings provide evidence that low economic growth over two decades did not inevitably translate to unfavourable population health. Japanese health inequalities according to income were stable during the study period. Therefore, this study highlighted the possibility that for high-income countries, low economic growth ma…

Ageing accounts for much of the association between decreasing grip strength and subsequent loneliness
BACKGROUND: Loneliness at older ages has been associated with higher morbidity and mortality. One of the risk factors for loneliness may be age-related decline in skeletal muscle strength, which may limit the possibilities for engagement in usual social activities and maintaining relationships. We aimed to identify if decrease in grip strength is an independent determinant of subsequent change in loneliness. METHODS: Prospective cohort study of p…
Caregiving and changes in health-related behaviour
Potential health risks for informal caregivers have been hypothesised to be partly related to adverse changes in health-related behaviour, but evidence is limited. We examined whether smoking, drinking, eating, physical activity or leisure pursuits change in relation to co-resident or out-of-home caregiving (for someone outside the household), and if associations differ by sex, educational attainment, and welfare state typology. We conducted a lo…
Same-Sex Marriage and Common Mental Health Diagnoses
We aimed to test whether the association between same-sex marriage and common mental health diagnoses was explained by shared genetic and environmental familial influences using sibling comparison and adoption analyses. For the sibling comparison analysis, participants (1,177,712 men and 1,266,917 women) were individuals born in Sweden between 1932 and 1994 and had ever been recorded as married (in opposite-sex or same-sex marriages). For the ado…
Increasing income-based inequality in suicide mortality among working-age women and men, Sweden, 1990–2007
BACKGROUND: Income inequalities have risen from the 1990s to 2000s, following the economic recession in 1994, but little research has investigated socioeconomic inequalities in suicide mortality for working-age men and women (aged between 30 and 64 years) over the time using longitudinal data in Sweden. METHODS: Using Swedish national register data between 1990 and 2007 as a series of repeated cohort studies with a 3-year follow-up (sample sizes …
Asthma and atopic diseases in adolescence and antidepressant medication in middle age
This Swedish register-based cohort study examined whether asthma, hay fever and allergic dermatitis in late adolescence identified in the early 1970s are associated with antidepressant medication in middle age, between 2006 and 2009. After adjustment for childhood and adulthood sociodemographic characteristics, psychological, cognitive and physical function, and comorbidity, the magnitude of the associations diminished for asthma, while hay fever…

Health inequalities in Japan
Inequalities in self-rated health in Japan 1986–2007 according to household income and a novel occupational classification
BACKGROUND: Japan, for the past two decades, has seen economic stagnation and substantial social change. We examined whether health inequalities increased over this period. METHODS: Using eight triennial waves of a series of large nationally representative surveys between 1986 and 2007 (n=398 303), temporal trends in relative and slope indices of inequality (RII, SII, respectively) were tested based on self-rated health in relation to theory-base…
A new theory-based social classification in Japan and its validation using historically collected information
OP32 Health Inequalities in Japan 1986 to 2007 Based on Self-Rated Health, Household Income and a Novel Occupational Classification
Background While widening or stable inequalities have often been found in relation to economic stagnation in the west, time trends in health inequalities in Japan over the past two decades of economic stagnation are unclear. Comprehensive examination of temporal trends and factors contributing health inequalities in Japan are imperative to population health. Methods We analysed a series of eight nationally-representative samples (Comprehensive Su…
