Socio-economic differences in self-reported insomnia and stress in Finland from 1979 to 2002
Self-reported insomnia and stress were more common during later study periods. The socio-economic differences in insomnia and stress have remained fairly stable over a 24-year time period. However, some of the associations in socio-economic differences were curvilinear and converse. Future studies are needed to explore the complex socio-economic gradients, especially in stress
The contribution of psychological distress to socio-economic differences in cause-specific mortality
Psychological distress partly accounted for socio-economic disparities in unnatural mortality. Further studies are needed to explore the role and mechanisms of psychological distress associated with socio-economic differences in cause-specific mortality
P31 Social capital and health behaviour
Objective To examine how different dimensions of social capital and health behaviour are associated. Design Cross-sectional data of the Health 2000 Health Examination Survey including a personal interview and self-administered questionnaires. Setting Representative sample (N=8028) of the Finnish adult population. Participants 6986 (87%) adults aged 30 years or over.

Mortality differences according to living arrangements
BACKGROUND: Research has revealed mortality differences between marital status groups in different societies and different periods of time. Due to the increase in consensual unions, living alone and other changes in living arrangements, it is necessary to apply a more detailed classification of living arrangements that incorporates partnership situation and household composition. METHODS: We analyse mortality by cause-of-death in the total Finnis…
Did Finland’s Tobacco Control Act of 1976 have an impact on ever smoking? An examination based on male and female cohort trends
Objective: To examine patterns of ever smoking among Finnish adults by gender and birth cohort from 1978 to 2001, with special emphasis on the possible effects of the 1976 Tobacco Control Act (TCA). Methods: The data were derived from independent, annual cross sectional postal surveys among 15–64 year olds (n = 91 342), average response rate 75%. For the analyses 13 five year birth cohorts from 1916 to 1980 were constructed. Birth cohort variatio…
Change in male and female life expectancy by social class
STUDY OBJECTIVE: To quantify the contribution of different causes of death and age groups for trends in life expectancy for two major social classes. DESIGN AND SETTING: Prospective study of mortality in Finland among all over 35 year old men and women. Baseline social class (manual/non-manual) was from the 1970, 1975, 1980, 1985 and 1990 census records, and follow up was by computerised record linkage to death certificates for 1971-1995. MAIN RE…
Sociodemographic Mortality Differences among the Oldest Old in Finland
This study examined mortality differences and trends by several sociodemographic characteristics among the Finnish elderly aged 80 years or over during the period of 1971-90. The analyses were based on comprehensive data sets compiled by means of linking individual death records and census records for the entire population of Finland. Poisson regression was applied as the main statistical tool. For both sexes, life expectancy at age 80 was about …
Mortality in a large population-based cohort of patients with drug-treated diabetes mellitus
OBJECTIVES: This paper presents detailed cause-specific data about excess mortality among diabetic persons in Finland, by age and sex. METHODS: Five-year follow-up data on the Finnish population aged 30 through 74 years were analyzed. During these 5 years, 11,215 persons with diabetes and 102,843 persons without diabetes died. The diabetic population was defined as people who were entitled to free medication for diabetes at the beginning of the f…
