Examining causal relationships between educational attainment and type 2 diabetes using genetic analysis
INTRODUCTION: Observational studies have shown that more educated people are at lower risk of developing type 2 diabetes (T2D). However, robust study designs are needed to investigate the likelihood that such a relationship is causal. This study used genetic instruments for education to estimate the effect of education on T2D using the Mendelian randomisation (MR) approach. METHODS: Analyses have been conducted in the European Prospective Investi…
Coping and grief symptoms after parental loss in adolescence - a nationwide follow-up study
Knowledge about effective coping strategies is important to support bereaved adolescents who have lost a parent. We used data on 104 bereaved adolescents (13-17 years) from the FALCON nationwide questionnaire study of parentally bereaved families. We examined associations between adolescents' control-oriented and escape-oriented coping strategies (KidCOPE scale) approximately two months after loss and grief symptoms (PG-13 scale) at six months fo…
Cohort profile of Falcon
Difficulties in recruiting newly bereaved families and following them over time present a major barrier in grief research following the death of a spouse/parent. We established FALCON-the first prospective nationwide cohort of families with children below age 18 years whose parent died in Denmark between April 2019 and July 2021. Data from parents and children were collected within 2 months of death with ongoing follow-up assessments up to 18 mon…
The development and initial validation of the Breast Cancer Recurrence instrument (BreastCaRe)—a patient-reported outcome measure for detecting symptoms of recurrence after breast cancer
‘It can’t do any harm’
Assessing and managing risk are central to participation in preventive health checks, as the purpose is to identify adverse health behaviours and risk factors. Drawing on the cultural theory of risk, we explore why people without formal education participate in preventive health checks and discuss how this is related to their understandings of risk and health. With this aim, we conducted semi-structured qualitative interviews with people without …
Early parental loss and intimate relationships in adulthood
Being able to form and maintain intimate relationships is an essential part of development and the early loss of a parent may negatively affect this ability. This study investigates the association between parental loss before the age of 18 years and the formation and dissolution of marriage and cohabitation relationships in adulthood, in relation to factors that may help identify potentially vulnerable subgroups of bereaved children, that is, se…
Fatigue trajectories during the first 8 months after breast cancer diagnosis
Mental vulnerability as a risk factor for depression
Background and Aim: Mental vulnerability (i.e. a tendency to experience psychosomatic symptoms, mental symptoms or interpersonal problems) is associated with various diseases. This study investigated whether mental vulnerability is associated with hospitalization for depression. Methods: A prospective study was conducted of six cohorts from the population of Copenhagen County, Denmark, with baseline information on mental vulnerability, lifestyle,…
P2-86 Education and survival of non-Hodgkin lymphoma in Denmark
Introduction This study examined socio-economic inequalities in survival after non-Hodgkin lymphoma, and to what extent any disparities were explained by differences in comorbidity, disease severity at the time of diagnosis, and the treatment given. Methods Registry-based nationwide cohort study based on 5738 persons diagnosed 2000-2008 from the Danish national lymphoma database and linked for individual socioeconomic information in Statistics De…
