  • Comorbid symptoms of depression and musculoskeletal pain and risk of long term sickness absence

    Open AccessOle Melkevik, Thomas Clausen et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2018

    The risk of LTSA associated with depressive symptoms and musculoskeletal pain appears to be moderated by the presence of comorbid symptoms. The modified risk for LTSA among workers with comorbid symptoms requires further investigation

  • Trends in social inequality in physical inactivity among Danish adolescents 1991–2014

    Open AccessNina Føns Johnsen, Mette Toftager et al.ARTICLESSM - Population Health2017

    The aim of this study was to investigate social inequality in physical inactivity among adolescents from 1991 to 2014 and to describe any changes in inequality during this period. The analyses were based on data from the Danish part of the HBSC study, which consists of seven comparable cross-sectional studies of nationally representative samples of 11-15-year old adolescents. The available data consisted of weekly time (hours) spent on vigorous p…

  • Adolescent mental health and earnings inequalities in adulthood

    Miriam Evensen, Torkild Hovde Lyngstad et al.ARTICLEJournal of Epidemiology and…2017Cited by: 8References: 30

    BACKGROUND: Previous studies have shown that adolescent mental health problems are associated with lower employment probabilities and risk of unemployment. The evidence on how earnings are affected is much weaker, and few have addressed whether any association reflects unobserved characteristics and whether the consequences of mental health problems vary across the earnings distribution. METHODS: A population-based Norwegian health survey linked …

  • Predicting Well‐Being and Internalizing Symptoms in Late Adolescence From Trajectories of Externalizing Behavior Starting in Infancy

    Open AccessAnne Kjeldsen, Wendy Nilsen et al.ARTICLEJournal of Research on Adolescence2016Cited by: 5References: 10

    This study aimed to examine the long-term prediction of well-being and internalizing symptoms from trajectories of externalizing behavior problems in 921 children from a population-based sample. We found that a high stable trajectory of externalizing behavior from infancy (age 1.5) to mid-adolescence (age 14.5) predicted lower scores on life satisfaction and flourishing for both girls and boys (age 18.5). The high stable trajectory also predicted…

  • The Role of Internalizing and Externalizing Problems in Adolescence for Adult Educational Attainment

    Miriam Evensen, Torkild Hovde Lyngstad et al.ARTICLEEuropean Sociological Review2016Cited by: 12References: 47

    To what extent are adolescent mental health problems negatively related to educational attainment? If so, do these relationships primarily reflect childhood socio-economic circumstances that lower both mental health and educational attainment or do individuals’ mental health vulnerabilities impede educational potential regardless of social origin? Using a population-based Norwegian health survey linked to administrative registry data, this study …

  • Are associations between electronic media use and BMI different across levels of physical activity

    Open AccessOle Melkevik, Ellen Haug et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2015

    While the usage of EM appear to be inconsequential for BMI and the risk of overweight among physically active boys, we find evidence indicating that EM use is associated with BMI and risk for overweight among girls, including those who report complying with MVPA guidelines
