Job strain as a risk factor for clinical depression
Background Adverse psychosocial working environments characterized by job strain (the combination of high demands and low control at work) are associated with an increased risk of depressive symptoms among employees, but evidence on clinically diagnosed depression is scarce. We examined job strain as a risk factor for clinical depression. Method We identified published cohort studies from a systematic literature search in PubMed and PsycNET and o…
The influence of self-reported leisure time physical activity and the body mass index on recovery from persistent back pain among men and women
Regular leisure time physical activity seems to improve recovery from persistent back pain among women
Does income matter for troublesome neck pain? A population-based study on risk and prognosis
BACKGROUND: Studies have shown associations between higher income and better health, but income has not been studied in relation to neck pain. The aims of this cohort study were to assess the sex-specific role of disposable income for onset and prognosis of neck pain in the general population and if economic stress influences such potential associations. METHODS: Two subcohorts were identified in the Stockholm Public Health Cohort with data from …
Covert coping with unfair treatment at work and risk of incident myocardial infarction and cardiac death among men
BACKGROUND: Covert coping with unfair treatment at work--occurring when an employee does not show the "aggressor" that he/she feels unfairly treated--has been found to be associated with cardiovascular risk factors. This study examined whether covert coping also predicts incident coronary heart disease. METHODS: A prospective cohort study (the WOLF Stockholm study) of workplaces in the Stockholm area, Sweden. The participants were 2755 men with n…
P1-377 Trends and incidence of and mortality after first myocardial infarction in a national-wide cohort of men and women with diverse socioeconomic position and country of birth, 1987–2007
Introduction Myocardial Infarction (MI) is a major cause of mortality and morbidity worldwide and one of the dominating burden of diseases in Sweden. We evaluated the incidence and survival of first MI in subgroups of social position and sex and compared immigrants with Sweden-born population. Methods We followed a nation-wide cohort of more than seven million men and women ages 35 to 89 years through linkages between Swedish National Registers f…
Job strain and ischaemic disease
OBJECTIVE: Evidence on the association between job strain and ischaemic disease is mixed. This study examined whether including older age individuals in a cohort used to assess job strain attenuates findings towards the null. DESIGN: A prospective cohort study with baseline screening in 1992-5. A follow-up for ischaemic disease until 2003 was based on linkages to national registries. Ischaemic disease was corroborated by objective criteria (hospi…
Life events and the risk of low back and neck/shoulder pain of the kind people are seeking care for
Objective: To expand the knowledge about the occurrence of life events, and how they affect the risk of low back and neck/shoulder pain. Design: A population-based case–control study. Setting: Men and women 20–59-years old, living in and not working outside the municipality of Norrtälje, Sweden, from November 1993 to November 1997. Participants: Cases (n = 1 148) were defined as all subjects from the study base who sought healthcare for a new epi…
The effect of leisure-time physical activity on the risk of acute myocardial infarction depending on Body Mass Index
While regular leisure-time physical activity seems to provide protection against myocardial infarction among lean, normal-weight and overweight subjects, this does not appear to be the case in obese subjects

Sleep disturbances, work stress and work hours
Migration and mortality
Study objective: Finland has a higher mortality overall and for major causes of death than Sweden, primarily in men. The objective of this study was to analyse mortality in migrants from Finland to Sweden. Design: A longitudinal study based on the Finnish Twin Cohort Study. Information about migration from Finland to Sweden, duration of stay in Sweden for the migrants, and deaths 1976–1995 was obtained from national registers. Observed numbers of…
High effort, low reward, and cardiovascular risk factors in employed Swedish men and women
STUDY OBJECTIVE: To examine associations between measures of work stress (that is, the combination of high effort and low reward) and cardiovascular risk factors. DESIGN: Cross sectional first screening of a prospective cohort study. SETTING AND PARTICIPANTS: The study was conducted among 5720 healthy employed men and women living in the greater Stockholm area aged 19-70 years. All analyses were restricted to subjects with complete data (n = 4958…

Smokeless tobacco use and increased cardiovascular mortality among Swedish construction workers
OBJECTIVES. Little is known about the risks of cardiovascular disease associated with the use of smokeless tobacco, which produces blood nicotine levels similar to those caused by cigarette smoking. METHODS. Male Swedish construction industry employees (n = 135,036) who attended a health examination were followed by studying cause-specific mortality during a 12-year period. The study population comprised 6297 smokeless tobacco users, 14,983 smoke…
