Association between childhood family structure and longitudinal health behaviour changes in adulthood –Northern Finland birth cohort 1966 study
Our findings suggest that the offspring of single-parent families in particular should be supported in early life to diminish their risk of unhealthy behaviours in adulthood
Associations between cohort study participation and self-reported health and well-being: The Northern Finland Birth Cohort 1966 Study
AIM: The aim of this study was to explore whether active participation in a longitudinal birth cohort study is associated with study participants' health behaviour and well-being. METHODS: The subjects of this study were part of the Northern Finland Birth Cohort 1966. The follow-up data were collected through clinical examinations and questionnaires when the cohort members were 1, 14, 31 and 46 years old. In this study, cohort participation activ…
Longitudinal Pathways from Cumulative Contextual Risk at Birth to School Functioning in Adolescence: Analysis of Mediation Effects and Gender Moderation
Associations between school liking, loneliness and social relations among adolescents: Northern Finland Birth Cohort 1986 study
School is an important social environment, but it can also be a devastating place for those who experience loneliness, are bullied or have problematic social relations. These negative experiences might be associated with school dislike, which in turn can negatively affect pupil’s motivation, academic success and overall well-being. This study examined the associations between school liking with self-reports of experiences of loneliness and social…
Associations of Physical Activity and Sedentary Behavior With Adolescent Academic Achievement
The Northern Finland Birth Cohort 1986 ( N = 8,061) was used to investigated the joint associations of physical activity and sedentary behavior with academic achievement. Logistic regression analysis was used to evaluate how classes formed by latent class analysis (LCA) according to overall physical activity, sports club membership, viewing TV, using a computer, reading books and magazines, other sedentary activities, and sleep were associated wi…

Pubertal Development and Sexual Intercourse Among Adolescent Girls: An Examination of Direct, Mediated, and Spurious Pathways
There are strong reasons to assume that early onset of puberty accelerates coital debut among adolescent girls. Although many studies support this assumption, evidence regarding the putative causal processes is limited and inconclusive. In this research, longitudinal data from the 1986 Northern Finland Birth Cohort Study ( N = 2,596) were used to address three theoretical explanations: (a) a direct effect premised on biological processes, (b) a m…
Psychological Well-Being, Job Strain and Education Among Young Finnish Precarious Employees
Body mass index and overweight in relation to residence distance and population density: Experience from the Northern Finland birth cohort 1966
We conclude that young adults in Northern Finland who live far away from local centres or in the most sparsely populated areas are fatter than those who live close to local centres or in densely populated areas. The likely explanations include variations in everyday physical activity in different residential environments, although causality of the associations remains to be confirmed
Experience of loneliness among adolescent girls and boys: Northern Finland Birth Cohort 1986 study
When an individual's socio-emotional needs are not being adequately met, the subjective and negative feeling of loneliness occurs. Study assessed the experiences of loneliness of 16-year-olds in the Northern Finland Birth Cohort 1986 (n=7014). Most (70.4%) adolescents reported not feeling lonely, 26.4% reported feeling somewhat and 3.2% reported feeling very lonely. Girls reported more loneliness than boys. Multinomial logistic regression was emp…

Prenatal Health, Educational Attainment, and Intergenerational Inequality: The Northern Finland Birth Cohort 1966 Study
In this article, we study the effects of prenatal health on educational attainment and on the reproduction of family background inequalities in education. Using Finnish birth cohort data, we analyze several maternal and fetal health variables, many of which have not been featured in the literature on long-term socioeconomic effects of health despite the effects of these variables on birth and short-term health outcomes. We find strong negative ef…
Antisocial Propensity, Adolescent School Outcomes, and the Risk of Criminal Conviction
Data from the 1986 N orthern F inland B irth C ohort S tudy ( n = 4,645) were used to examine the influence of mid‐adolescent (age 15) school outcomes on late‐adolescent (ages 17–19) risk of criminal conviction. Consistent with social‐developmental theories of offending, we found that poor academic performance and reduced school attachment increase the risk of criminal conviction independently of pre‐existing differences in antisocial propensity …
P1-442 Antenatal maternal factors and mild cognitive limitations in the offspring
Introduction There is a lack of epidemiological studies on early social and biological environmental factors, which may have an effect on development during childhood. The aim of this life-course cohort study is to explore the association between maternal gestational factors, by focusing on hypertensive disorders, and mild cognitive limitations (MCL, intelligence quotient, IQ 50–85) in the offspring. Study population and Methods An 11.5 year foll…
Motivation to physical activity among adults with high risk of type 2 diabetes who participated in the Oulu substudy of the Finnish Diabetes Prevention Study
Type 2 diabetes can be prevented by lifestyle changes such as sufficient level of physical activity. The number of persons at high risk of or diagnosed with type 2 diabetes is increasing all over the world. In order to prevent type 2 diabetes and develop exercise counselling, more studies on motivators and barriers to physical activity are needed. Thus, the aim of this qualitative study was to describe the motivators and barriers to physical acti…
Psychosocial factors as mediators between migration and subjective well-being among young Finnish adults
Do inattention and hyperactivity symptoms equal scholastic impairment? evidence from three European cohorts
These results extend previous reports of scholastic impairment among children with clinically diagnosed ADHD to non-referred population samples from three European countries. Surveillance policies should be implemented in school systems to catch children in need of behavioral or scholastic support early
