Cultural activities and all-cause mortality among Finnish adults: A 19-year follow-up
The results corroborate the findings of earlier research showing that cultural activity is associated with lower all-cause mortality. However, the possibility of reversed causality or the role of unmeasured factors cannot be ruled out, even though a range of relevant confounders were controlled for. Assessing the mechanisms behind the association was beyond the scope of this study. The study suggests that engagement in cultural activities could b…
Development and Psychometric Evaluation of the Experiences of Social Inclusion Scale
In recent years, a growing body of literature on social inclusion on an individual level has emerged. Yet, there is no common understanding of the concept itself and how to measure it. The objective of this study was to document the development of the Experiences of Social Inclusion Scale (ESIS), including the theoretical framework used for this purpose, which draws strongly on the capability approach. The ESIS is a brief closed survey instrument…
Population group differences in subjective importance of meat in diet and red and processed meat consumption
Red and processed meat (RPM) consumption associates directly with several unfavorable health outcomes and with environmental impact of diet. RPM consumption differs between certain population groups, and moreover, encompasses various subjective meanings. Literature on determinants of subjective importance of meat in diet (SIM), however, is scarce. Aims of this study were to determine which sociodemographic and -economic characteristics associate …
Positive Mental Health of Finnish People Living Alone: The Role of Circumstantial Factors and Leisure-Time Activities
Living alone has become more common across Europe. Past research has consistently identified living alone as a risk factor for poor mental health while evidence on the positive dimension(s) of mental health has been scarce. Positive mental health has been associated with rather stable circumstantial factors, such as socio-economic characteristics and social relationships, and day-to-day activities in the form of leisure participation, in general …
Profiles of subjective health among people living alone: A latent class analysis
Our findings suggest that people living alone are indeed a very heterogeneous group in terms of subjective health. Instead of seeing living alone as a mere risk for low quality of life, concept of living alone should be understood more broadly both in public discussion and scientific research
Single-parenthood and perceived income insufficiency as challenges for meal patterns in childhood
Associations between parental BMI, socioeconomic factors, family structure and overweight in Finnish children: A path model approach
The observed pathways between parental BMI and education and childhood overweight emphasize a need for evidence-based health promotion interventions tailored for families identified with parental overweight and low level of education
Social capital, health behaviours and health: A population-based associational study
Irrespective of their social status, people with higher levels of social capital - especially in terms of social participation and networks - engage in healthier behaviours and feel healthier both physically and psychologically
Social capital as a determinant of self-rated health and psychological well-being
The contribution of childhood circumstances, current circumstances and health behaviour to educational health differences in early adulthood
To develop means for avoiding undesirable trajectories along which poor health and health differences develop, it is necessary to understand the pathways to health inequalities and know how to improve the living conditions of families with children
Employee, Partner, and Mother: Woman's Three Roles and Their Implications for Health
A large number of Western women today occupy the roles of an employee, a partner, and a mother. The three life spheres may spell contradictory expectations, demands, and rewards. The aim of this article is to examine self-rated health (SRH) and psychological distress of Finnish women aged 30 to 49 years. In addition to the number of roles the respondent occupies, the quality and the characteristics of each role are analyzed. The employee role is …
Health behaviours as explanations for educational level differences in cardiovascular and all-cause mortality: A follow-up of 60 000 men and women over 23 years
BACKGROUND: Health behaviours are potential explanatory factors for socioeconomic differences in mortality. We examined the extent to which seven health behaviours covering dietary habits, smoking and physical activity, can account for relative differences in cardiovascular and all-cause mortality by educational level. METHODS: Health behaviour data derived from nationwide Finnish health behaviour surveys from the years 1979 to 2001. These annual…
Socio-demographic Differences in Self-reported Psychological Distress Among 25- to 64-Year-Old Finns
Educational differences in mobility: The contribution of physical workload, obesity, smoking and chronic conditions
Background: In earlier studies, determinants of socioeconomic gradient in mobility have not been measured comprehensively. Aim: To assess the contribution of chronic morbidity, obesity, smoking and physical workload to inequalities in mobility. Methods: This was a cross-sectional study on 2572 persons (76% of a nationally representative sample of the Finnish population aged ⩾55 years). Mobility limitations were measured by self-reports and perfor…
Measurement and socio-demographic variation of social capital in a large population-based survey
Living arrangements and mental health in Finland
Background: Non-married persons are known to have poor mental health compared with married persons. Health differences between marital status groups may largely arise from corresponding differences in interpersonal social bonds. However, official marital status mirrors the social reality of persons to a decreasing extent, and living arrangements may be a better measure of social bonds. Little is known about mental health in different living arran…
Differences in mortality by marital status in Finland from 1976 to 2000: Analyses of changes in marital-status distributions, socio-demographic and household composition, and cause of death
Being currently not married is more common today than 25 years ago. Over this period relative differences in mortality by marital status have increased in several countries, mainly as a result of a sharp decline in mortality among the married. Using Finnish census data linked with death certificates, we show that these increases are not explained by the non-married population becoming more marginalized in socio-economic status or household compos…
Why are socioeconomic mortality differences smaller among women than among men
Mortality by indicators of socioeconomic status among the finnish elderly
