Associations between emotional support and cardiovascular risk factors and subclinical atherosclerosis in middle-age
Objective To test the hypothesis of low emotional support being associated with lifestyle and biomedical cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factors, estimated risk of CVD morbidity and mortality, and subclinical atherosclerosis in middle-aged healthy adults.Methods and measures Cross-sectional data were obtained from participants aged 40–60 years who had one or more conventional CVD risk factor. They underwent assessment based on questionnaires, c…
Adherence to the Swedish dietary guidelines and the impact on mortality and climate in a population-based cohort study
Objective: To assess the associations between adherence to the Swedish dietary guidelines and all-cause mortality (i.e. assessing the index’ ability to predict health outcomes), as well as levels of dietary greenhouse gas emissions (GHGEs). Design: A longitudinal study 1990–2016 within the population-based cohort Västerbotten Intervention Programme. Dietary data were based on FFQs. Diet quality was assessed by the Swedish Healthy Eating Index for…
Climate impact from diet in relation to background and sociodemographic characteristics in the Västerbotten Intervention Programme
Objective: The objective of this study was to examine climate impact from diet across background and sociodemographic characteristics in a population-based cohort in northern Sweden. Design: A cross-sectional study within the Västerbotten Intervention Programme. Dietary data from a 64-item food frequency questionnaire collected during 1996–2016 were used. Energy-adjusted greenhouse gas emissions (GHGE) for all participants, expressed as kg carbon…
A reversal of decreasing trends in population cholesterol levels in Västerbotten County, Sweden
BACKGROUND: High cholesterol is identified as a major risk factor for chronic non-communicable diseases, especially cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. Monitoring trends of cholesterol levels and comparing trends across population groups are important to assess population distribution and risks related to cholesterol change over time. Cholesterol surveillance data are lacking, even in high-income countries. OBJECTIVES: To describe the tr…
Increasing glucose concentrations and prevalence of diabetes mellitus in northern Sweden, 1990–2007
BACKGROUND: The prevalence of diabetes in the world is projected to rise from 2.8% in the year 2000 to 4.4% in 2030, an increase suggesting an ongoing global epidemic of diabetes. OBJECTIVE: To examine time trends in fasting and 2-h glucose concentrations, prevalence and 10-year cumulative incidence of diabetes, and the role of education in these trends. DESIGN: Each year the Västerbotten Intervention Programme invites all 40, 50, and 60-year-old…
The obesity epidemic slows among the middle-aged population in Sweden while the socioeconomic gap widens
BACKGROUND: Obesity prevalence has continuously increased in Northern Sweden as elsewhere. A cohort effect has been shown and an increasing proportion of the middle-aged population is maintaining body weight. OBJECTIVE: To test the hypothesis that the obesity epidemic continues but at different speeds that are dependent on socioeconomic status. DESIGN: Cross-sectional (103,940 adults) and longitudinal (26,872 adults) data from the Västerbotten In…
Burnout, working conditions and gender - results from the northern Sweden Monica Study
Working life conditions contributed to the level of burnout in this actively working sample from the general population in northern Sweden. Especially in women, socioeconomic position was associated with burnout. The high level of burnout in women compared to men was partly explained by more unfavourable working conditions and life situational factors. Efforts to level out gender differences in burnout should probably focus on improving both work…
Trends in food intakes in Swedish adults 1986–1999
Objective To determine changes in reported food frequency in adults between 1986 and 1999. Design Four consecutive cross-sectional surveys. Setting Counties of Norrbotten and Västerbotten, Northern Sweden. Subjects The Northern Sweden MONICA (Monitoring of Trends and Determinants in Cardiovascular Disease) population, four independent cross-sectional surveys in 1986, 1990, 1994 and 1999. Randomly selected age-stratified samples of the population …
Physical activity of subjects aged 50–64 years involved in the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition (Epic)
Objective: To describe physical activity of participants in the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition (EPIC). Design: A cross-sectional analysis of baseline data of a European prospective cohort study. Subjects: This analysis was restricted to participants in the age group 50–64 years, which was represented in all EPIC centres. It involved 236 386 participants from 25 centres in nine countries. In each EPIC centre, physical…
