Emotional Well‐Being Trajectories Before and After Statutory Retirement—Contributions of Social and Health‐Related Factors
Aging population in OECD countries and the rising mental disorder burden highlight the need to understand statutory retirement's contribution to emotional well‐being. However, the relationship between statutory retirement and emotional well‐being remains underexplored. Clarifying this relationship can help policymakers enhance pension systems to better support statutory retirees' well‐being. This study examined emotional well‐being trajectories 1…
Life-course socioeconomic circumstances and changes in leisure-time physical activity among young and early midlife employees
While socioeconomic differences in leisure-time physical activity (LTPA) are well established, less is known about the contribution of socioeconomic factors to changes in LTPA. This study examined the associations between life-course socioeconomic position (SEP) and changes in LTPA over a 5-year follow-up among young and early midlife employees. This study used the Helsinki Health Study follow-up survey data, comprised of employees of the City of…
The association between pain and diagnosis-specific long-term sickness absence at different levels of body mass index – a register-linked cohort study
Chronic (≥ 3 months) pain and obesity (body mass index [BMI] ≥ 30 kg/m2) are both associated with long-term sickness absence (LTSA). This study aimed to examine the contribution of acute ( 10 working days) at different levels of BMI among young and early midlife employees. Helsinki Health Study questionnaire data covering 19–39-year-old employees were collected in 2017 (n = 4091). Pain was classified as no pain, acute pain, or chronic pain. BMI w…
Weight management and its educational differences among retired individuals living with obesity—a salutogenic approach
A salutogenic orientation, which focuses on health and well-being rather than illness, was evident in many ways in how participants approached their weight management. Educational differences were moderate overall and hinted at specific characteristics of how the resources were utilized. Comprehensibility, manageability, and meaningfulness were evident in the results for both educational groups. According to the results of this study, retired ind…
Having lunch at the staff canteen and plant food consumption among 19–39-year-old Finnish employees

Global, regional, and national burden of disorders affecting the nervous system, 1990–2021
BACKGROUND: Disorders affecting the nervous system are diverse and include neurodevelopmental disorders, late-life neurodegeneration, and newly emergent conditions, such as cognitive impairment following COVID-19. Previous publications from the Global Burden of Disease, Injuries, and Risk Factor Study estimated the burden of 15 neurological conditions in 2015 and 2016, but these analyses did not include neurodevelopmental disorders, as defined by…
Explanations for sickness absence due to common mental disorders
Over recent decades, sickness absence due to common mental disorders has increased among young workers. The phenomenon is mostly understood on the basis of epidemiological research, and knowledge regarding the viewpoints of young workers themselves is lacking. Our study explored the explanations for mental health-related sickness absence in the narrative accounts of young workers in high-risk health and social care occupations. Semi-structured na…
Global, regional, and national burden of diabetes from 1990 to 2021, with projections of prevalence to 2050
BACKGROUND: Diabetes is one of the leading causes of death and disability worldwide, and affects people regardless of country, age group, or sex. Using the most recent evidentiary and analytical framework from the Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries, and Risk Factors Study (GBD), we produced location-specific, age-specific, and sex-specific estimates of diabetes prevalence and burden from 1990 to 2021, the proportion of type 1 and type 2 diabetes…
The contribution of population age-sex structure to the excess mortality estimates of 2020–2021 in Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway, and Sweden
The Nordic countries offer an ideal case study of the COVID-19 pandemic due to their comparability, high data quality, and variable mitigations. We investigated the age- and sex-specific mortality patterns during 2020-2021 for the five Nordic countries and analysed the total age- and sex-adjusted excess deaths, ratios of actual to expected death rates, and age-standardized excess death estimates. We assessed excess deaths using several time perio…
Work-family conflicts and long-term medically certified sickness absence due to mental disorders – a follow-up study of female municipal employees

Aim Our aim in this paper was to estimate the contribution of different parental specialised health care diagnoses to the subsequent risk of entry into the social assistance system for families with children in the period 1998–2013
Trajectories in physical functioning by occupational class among retiring women
BACKGROUND: Occupational class inequalities in physical functioning and their changes after retirement are poorly understood. We examined occupational class trajectories in physical functioning 10 years before and after transition to old-age and disability retirement. We included working conditions and behavioural risk factors as covariates, given their established link to health and retirement. METHODS: We used the Helsinki Health Study cohort d…
Population-level risks of alcohol consumption by amount, geography, age, sex, and year
BACKGROUND: The health risks associated with moderate alcohol consumption continue to be debated. Small amounts of alcohol might lower the risk of some health outcomes but increase the risk of others, suggesting that the overall risk depends, in part, on background disease rates, which vary by region, age, sex, and year. METHODS: For this analysis, we constructed burden-weighted dose-response relative risk curves across 22 health outcomes to esti…
Clustering of social disadvantage with attention‐deficit/hyperactivity disorder in young adults
The clustering of social disadvantage with attention‐deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in young adulthood is not well understood. We examined the clustering of ADHD with low educational attainment and unemployment in young adulthood; whether such clustering is stronger when unemployment is prolonged; and whether further clustering of disability pensioning, low education and unemployment occurs among those with ADHD. Data were obtained from Sw…
Occupational Class Differences in Emotional Exhaustion Among Municipal Employees – The Role of Employment Sector and Psychosocial Working Conditions
Studies examining occupational class differences in burnout symptoms across employment sectors are scarce. The aim of this study was to examine whether occupational class is associated with emotional exhaustion, and whether there are differences in the examined associations between employment sectors. A further aim was to examine to which extent psychosocial working conditions may explain these associations. Survey data were collected in 2017 amo…
Trajectories of Insomnia Symptoms Among Aging Employees and Their Associations With Memory, Learning Ability, and Concentration After Retirement - A Prospective Cohort Study (2000–2017)
Early detection of insomnia symptoms would be a potential intervention point to improve both sleep quality and prevent cognitive decline in later life. However, intervention studies are needed
Global, regional, and national burden of stroke and its risk factors, 1990–2019
BACKGROUND: Regularly updated data on stroke and its pathological types, including data on their incidence, prevalence, mortality, disability, risk factors, and epidemiological trends, are important for evidence-based stroke care planning and resource allocation.

Sex inequalities in physical and mental functioning of British, Finnish, and Japanese civil servants
Sociodemographic and socioeconomic differences in sleep duration and insomnia-related symptoms in Finnish adults
Disadvantaged socioeconomic position in adulthood, in particular income and employment status, is associated with poorer sleep. When promoting optimal sleep duration and better sleep quality, families with low incomes, unemployed people, and disability retirees should be targeted
Working conditions as risk factors for disability retirement
Among various working conditions, those that are physically demanding and those that imply low job control are potential risk factors for disability retirement. Improving the physical working environment and enhancing control over one's job is likely to help prevent early retirement due to disability
