Effect of a mindfulness-based cognitive behavior therapy intervention on occupational burnout among school teachers
The prevalence of high EE and low PA decreased in both arms. However, the prevalence of high DP remained constant in the treatment arm but sharply decreased in the control arm. No significant differences between the arms were found in the post-test mean levels of EE, DP, and PA. The virtual MB-CBT intervention showed no significant impact on reducing burnout. Nonetheless, small reductions in burnout were observed in both groups
Trajectories of work ability from mid-life to pensionable age and their association with retirement timing
BACKGROUND: This study aimed to identify the trajectories of work ability over 16 years preceding the individual pensionable age and to examine the association with retirement timing. METHODS: The study population consisted of 2612 public sector employees from the Finnish Retirement and Aging study and the Finnish Public Sector study. Participants were grouped into 'no-extension' (retired at the individual pensionable date or worked no longer tha…
What Are the Key Workplace Influences on Pathways of Work Ability? A Six-Year Follow Up
A substantial number of employees maintained good work ability across the follow up. However, for employees with poor work ability, multisite musculoskeletal pain has an important influence, with effective prevention strategies required to reduce its prevalence
Global, regional, and national age-sex-specific mortality and life expectancy, 1950–2017
BACKGROUND: Assessments of age-specific mortality and life expectancy have been done by the UN Population Division, Department of Economics and Social Affairs (UNPOP), the United States Census Bureau, WHO, and as part of previous iterations of the Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries, and Risk Factors Study (GBD). Previous iterations of the GBD used population estimates from UNPOP, which were not derived in a way that was internally consistent wit…
Overweight and obesity among women
The prevalence of overweight and obesity varied highly between the countries and wealth index (rich vs. poor) was found to be the strongest predictor in most of the countries. Interventions that will address the socio-cultural barriers to maintaining healthy body size can contribute to curbing the overweight and obesity epidemic in Africa
