  • Life expectancy by religious affiliation in Finland 1972-2020

    Open AccessJulia Klein, J Saarela et al.ARTICLEDemographic Research2025References: 33

    Background: Religion and religiosity are known as important determinants of health and mortality. Previous studies on the interrelation between religion and mortality have relied on survey data or small cohort samples, and they have mainly been carried out in a North American setting. Objective: We provide a register-based study of life expectancy by religious affiliation for a total national population over the course of five decades. Methods: W…

  • Effects of sickness absence on disability pension in two ethnolinguistic groups: Register-based evidence from Finland

    Open AccessJulia Klein, Kaarina Susanna Reini et al.ARTICLESN Social Sciences2022

    The Swedish-speaking ethnolinguistic minority in Finland has a health advantage over the Finnish-speaking majority in terms of lower levels of sickness allowance and disability pension receipt. We examine whether this differential has consequences within the social security system by analysing the long-term risk for disability pension after sickness allowance receipt. With longitudinal population-register data covering the period 1989–2010, we ob…

  • Sickness Absence and Disability Pension in the Very Long Term: A Finnish Register-Based Study With 20 Years Follow-Up

    Open AccessJulia Klein, Kaarina Susanna Reini et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Public Health2021

    Sickness allowance is paid for short-term sickness absence and is thus an indicator of temporary ill health, but it is also associated with a heightened risk of receiving disability pension. Using event history analysis, we examined the long-term risk for disability pension receipt after first observed receipt of medically certified sickness allowance in each single year after sickness allowance was first recorded. Utilizing longitudinal data fro…

    Terry L Conway, Susan I Woodruff et al.ARTICLETobacco Control2004

    Applying a lay promotora model to deliver the behavioural problem solving intervention unfortunately was not effective. A likely explanation relates to the difficulty of delivering a relatively complex intervention by lay women untrained in behaviour change theory and research methods

  • Socio‐economic disparities in preterm birth: Causal pathways and mechanisms

    Open AccessMichael S Kramer, Lise Goulet et al.ARTICLEPaediatric and Perinatal…2001

    Preterm birth is the leading cause of infant mortality in industrialised societies. Its incidence is greatly increased among the socially disadvantaged, but the reasons for this excess are unclear and have been relatively unexplored. We hypothesise two distinct sets of causal pathways and mechanisms that may explain social disparities in preterm birth. The first set involves chronic and acute psychosocial stressors, psychological distress caused …
