Physiological Health and Physical Performance in Multiple Chemical Sensitivity—Described in the General Population
Multiple chemical sensitivity (MCS) is a multifactorial somatic disorder characterized by physical reactions triggered by even extremely low levels of different airborne chemicals. In most individuals with MCS, these reactions have substantial negative impact on social, occupational, and everyday life often including limited or no engagement in physical activities. The aim of this study was to explore associations between MCS and objective measur…
ESC Guidelines on cardiovascular disease prevention in clinical practice
The ESC Guidelines represent the views of the ESC and were produced after careful consideration of the scientific and medical knowledge and the evidence available at the time of their publication. The ESC is not responsible in the event of any contradiction, discrepancy and/or ambiguity between the ESC Guidelines and any other official recommendations or guidelines issued by the relevant public health authorities, in particular in relation to goo…
Insulin Resistance Is Associated with Multiple Chemical Sensitivity in a Danish Population-Based Study—DanFunD
Multiple chemical sensitivity (MCS) is a multisystem syndrome, and limited knowledge of its pathophysiology exists. Based on the population-based Danish cohort DanFunD, this study investigated metabolic health in people with MCS compared to individuals who did not have MCS. From 9656 cohort participants aged 18–76 years old, 1.95% were categorized as MCS individuals with comorbid functional somatic disorders (MCS +FSD, n = 188), and 1.13% were ca…
Determinants of social inequalities in stroke incidence across Europe: A collaborative analysis of 126 635 individuals from 48 cohort studies
BACKGROUND: Knowledge on the origins of the social gradient in stroke incidence in different populations is limited. This study aims to estimate the burden of educational class inequalities in stroke incidence and to assess the contribution of risk factors in determining these inequalities across Europe. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The MORGAM (MOnica Risk, Genetics, Archiving and Monograph) Study comprises 48 cohorts recruited mostly in the 1980s and …

Tolerance - a Culturally Dependent Concept
This article presents research on Japanese interpretations of the first article of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights as a point of departure for discussing how the Japanese cultural contexts present an alternative understanding of tolerance to the Western liberal. According to Rainer Forst, tolerance is a normatively dependent concept (Forst 2010). This implies that the specific cultural values or the 'normative context' and environment b…
The relationship between changes in health behaviour and initiation of lipid-lowering and antihypertensive medications in individuals at high risk of ischaemic heart disease
Generally, we observed health conscious behaviour in terms of increased initiation of preventive medications among those who reported positive changes in health behaviour. This study therefore suggests that more attention should be given to identifying individuals and groups, who are less health conscious and thereby less likely to engage in either preventive medications or changes in health behaviours
Association between the Five Factor personality traits and perceived stress: Is the effect mediated by general self-efficacy?
Ill-health resulting from chronic stress is influenced by personality traits leading to different ways of appraising and coping with life's daily hassles. Using a large population sample the study aimed to investigate possible associations between perceived stress and the personality dimensions of neuroticism, extroversion, openness, agreeableness, and conscientiousness, and to explore the role of general self-efficacy (GSE). A population-based c…
A registry-based follow-up study, comparing the incidence of cardiovascular disease in native Danes and immigrants born in Turkey, Pakistan and the former Yugoslavia: Do social inequalities play a rol…
In conclusion, country of birth-related differences in the incidence of CVD and AMI were observed. At least some of the differences that we uncovered were results of a socioeconomic effect. Duration of residence also played a certain role. Future studies should collect and test different indicators of SES in studies of CVD among immigrants
P2-305 Five-year changes in dietary indexes are associated with changes in cardiovascular risk factors
Rationale and Objectives The sensitivity of dietary indexes to measure changes in dietary habits is unclear. The objective of the study was to investigate whether 5-year changes in the Dietary Quality Score (DQS), Healthy Eating Index, Dietary Quality Index (DQI) and the Mediterranean diet score were associated with changes in dietary related cardiovascular (CVD) risk factors. Materials and Methods A random sample of 13 016 men and women aged 30–…
O3-3.2 Low vitamin D status and risk of type 2 diabetes: A prospective cohort study
Introduction Low vitamin D status has been associated with higher risk of type 2 diabetes in cross-sectional studies. The evidence from prospective studies is limited. The aim was to examine the association between vitamin D status and risk of type 2 diabetes and markers of glucose homeostasis in a prospective cohort study. Methods The study is part of the INTER99 study, based on a random sample of the general population of Copenhagen, Denmark. T…
Do patient characteristics, disease, or treatment explain social inequality in survival from colorectal cancer
How Do Patients With Colorectal Cancer Perceive Treatment and Care Compared With the Treating Health Care Professionals
BACKGROUND: Patient evaluations are widely used in quality assessment of health services. It is widely recognized that patients and professionals provide a different perspective on quality. However, the extent to which they differ and the conceptual areas in which they differ is not well understood. OBJECTIVES: We sought to examine how well professional and patient assessments of hospital health care correspond. METHODS: We undertook a prospectiv…
Use of dietary supplements in Denmark is associated with health and former smoking
Objectives: To describe the use of dietary supplements in a group of Danish adults and to investigate the differences between users and non-users with respect to age, gender, health and lifestyle factors. Design: Cross-sectional study in two Danish cities. Setting: The Danish Investigation on Iodine Intake and Thyroid Diseases, 1997–1998. Subjects: Participants were 3707 women (selected age groups between 18 and 65 years) and 942 men (60–65 years…
Seroconversion and seroreversion in IgG antibodies to Helicobacter pylori: A serology based prospective cohort study
STUDY OBJECTIVES: To assess the incidence of seroconversion and seroreversion in IgG antibodies to Helicobacter pylori within a 11 year observation period using these events as markers for acquisition and loss of the infection, respectively. DESIGN: Population based prospective cohort study. SETTING: Northern part of Copenhagen County, Denmark. PARTICIPANTS AND METHODS: A random sample of 2527 Danish adults were examined and blood obtained in 198…
Socioeconomic status and trends in risk factors for cardiovascular diseases in the Danish Monica population, 1982–1992
STUDY OBJECTIVE: The decline in cardiovascular mortality in Denmark during the 1980s has been greatest in the highest socioeconomic groups of the population. This study examines whether the increased social inequality in cardiovascular mortality has been accompanied by a different trend in cardiovascular risk factors in different educational groups. DESIGN: Data from three cross sectional WHO MONICA surveys conducted in 1982-84, 1987, and 1991-92…
Socioeconomic factors in Helicobacter pylori infection among Danish adults
OBJECTIVES: This study examined the relationship between housing conditions, educational level, occupational factors, and serologically diagnosed acute and chronic Helicobacter pylori infection. METHODS: Immunoglobulin G and immunoglobulin M serum antibodies against H. pylori were measured in 3589 Danish adults who participated in a population study. RESULTS: Low socioeconomic status (odds ratio [OR] = 2.2, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.7, 3.0…

Gallstones in a Danish population: Familial occurrence and social factors
In a cross-sectional study of gallstone disease, ascertained by ultrasonography, the prevalence was assessed in relation to clinically diagnosed gallstones in first degree relatives by selected socioeconomic factors. In both sexes, clinically diagnosed gallstones among first degree relatives occurred significantly more frequently among subjects with than among those without gallstone disease. None of the socioeconomic variables was significantly …
