Revictimization and Mental Health Service Use in Intimate Partner Violence
BACKGROUND: Intimate partner violence (IPV) contributes to the development and severity of mental health problems, and pre-existing mental disorders are also associated with victimization. IPV is rarely a single event, and the consequences of revictimization appear to be more severe. However, little is known about patterns of mental health service utilization among individuals exposed to IPV revictimization. AIMS: The study aims to estimate the a…
Complex executive functions assessed by the trail making test (TMT) part B improve more than those assessed by the TMT part A or digit span backward task during vagus nerve stimulation in patients wit…
Performance in all three tests improved at the group level during the follow-up period, with the most robust improvement observed in TMT-B, which requires inhibition control and set-switching in addition to the visuoperceptual processing speed that is crucial in TMT-A and working-memory performance that is essential in DB. Moreover, the improvement in TMT-B was further enhanced if the patient had psychiatric comorbidities
Is device-measured physical activity associated with musculoskeletal disorders among young adult Finnish men
Background Musculoskeletal (MSK) disorders represent a significant burden to society and can be unpleasant for the affected individuals. Physical activity (PA) can prevent MSK disorders while conferring other health benefits. The present study aimed to investigate associations between device-measured PA and perceived MSK disorders among young adult men. Methods PA at different intensity levels, standing, and sedentary behavior were measured with …
Relationship Between Accelerometer-Based Physical Activity, Sedentary Behavior, and Mental Health in Young Finnish Men
Healthy lifestyle behaviors including physical activity (PA) have been recognized to contribute positively to mental health. Most of the evidence on relationship between PA and mental health relies on self-reported PA results. Device-based measures on PA or sedentary behavior (SB) are less frequently used in mental health research. The present study aimed at examining the relationship between mental health and PA/SB measured by accelerometers in …
Economic burden of low physical activity and high sedentary behaviour in Finland
BACKGROUND: Low physical activity and high sedentary behaviour are unquestionably relevant for public health while also increasing direct and indirect costs. METHODS: The authors examined the direct and indirect costs attributable to low physical activity and high sedentary behaviour in Finland in 2017. Costs related to major non-communicable diseases drawn from Finnish registries covered direct costs (outpatient visits, days of inpatient care, m…
Adherence to an Injury Prevention Warm-Up Program in Children’s Soccer—A Secondary Analysis of a Randomized Controlled Trial
This study examined the impact of high adherence to a neuromuscular training (NMT) warm-up on the risk of lower extremity (LE) injuries in children's soccer. Twenty U11-U14 youth clubs ( n = 92 teams, 1409 players) were randomized into intervention ( n = 44 teams) and control ( n = 48 teams) groups. The intervention group was advised to perform an NMT warm-up 2 to 3 times a week for 20 weeks. Team adherence, injuries, and exposure were registered…
Higher number of steps and breaks during sedentary behaviour are associated with better lipid profiles
This study was registered and approved by the Regional Ethics Committee of Tampere University Hospital in Finland (approval code R15137 )
Training-Induced Acute Neuromuscular Responses to Military Specific Test during a Six-Month Military Operation
Limited data are available regarding strength and endurance training adaptations to occupational physical performance during deployment. This study assessed acute training-induced changes in neuromuscular (electromyography; EMG) and metabolic (blood lactate, BLa) responses during a high-intensity military simulation test (MST), performed in the beginning (PRE) and at the end (POST) of a six-month crisis-management operation. MST time shortened (1…
Differences in Training Adaptations of Endurance Performance during Combined Strength and Endurance Training in a 6-Month Crisis Management Operation
Decreases in aerobic fitness during military operations have been observed in several studies. Thus, differences in training adaptations during a 6-month crisis-management operation were compared by using the change in endurance performance as the outcome measure. Sixty-six male soldiers volunteered for the study, consisting of pre-post assessments of blood biomarkers, body composition, physical performance, and the military simulation test (MST)…
Relationship between mothers’ enjoyment and sedentary behavior and physical activity of mother–child dyads using a movement-to-music video program
The study is registered at ClinicalTrials.gov, registration number NTC02270138 , on October 2, 2014
Device-Based Measures of Sedentary Time and Physical Activity Are Associated With Physical Fitness and Body Fat Content
Introduction/Purpose: Physical activity and sedentary time may associate with physical fitness and body composition. Yet, there exists some observational studies that have investigated the associations of device-based measures of sedentary time and physical activity (PA) with cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) and body composition but associations with muscular fitness (MF) are less studied. Methods: Objective sedentary time and physical activity wa…
Trends in the use of care among people aged 65–85 with cognitive impairment in the Netherlands
Observation of long-term trends within countries is needed to increase insight into how policy initiatives are reflected in the use of care over time in addition to individual determinants of care use. In the past decades, Dutch care policies have favoured homecare and reduced the availability of institutional care which extended the care responsibilities of formal and informal care-givers at home. This study investigates the changes in the use o…
Effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of neuromuscular exercise and back care counseling in female healthcare workers with recurrent non-specific low back pain
ClinicalTrials.gov, NCT01465698 November 7, 2011 (prospective)
Ethnic Differences in Gestational Weight Gain
Rationale and methods for a randomized controlled trial of a movement-to-music video program for decreasing sedentary time among mother-child pairs
The study is registered at ClinicalTrials.gov, as NCT02270138. It was registered on October 2, 2014
Long-term care use among old people in their last 2 years of life
Variations across Finland in the use of six different long-term care (LTC) services among old people in their last 2 years of life, and the effects of characteristics of municipalities on the variations were studied. We studied variations in the use of residential home, sheltered housing, regular home care and inpatient care in health centre wards by using national registers. We studied how the use of LTC was associated with characteristics of th…

Do Successful Agers Live Longer? The Vitality 90+ Study
Successful aging, measured using physical, psychological, and social dimensions, predicts the length of future life in nonagenarians
Do Socioeconomic Health Differences Persist in Nonagenarians
We found socioeconomic differences in functional ability, comorbidity, and self-rated health in nonagenarians. Our findings suggest that social disparity in health and functioning exists in very old age
Effects of dietary counselling on food habits and dietary intake of Finnish pregnant women at increased risk for gestational diabetes – a secondary analysis of a cluster‐randomized controlled trial
The incidence of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is increasing and GDM might be prevented by improving diet. Few interventions have assessed the effects of dietary counselling on dietary intake of pregnant women. This study examined the effects of dietary counselling on food habits and dietary intake of Finnish pregnant women as secondary outcomes of a trial primarily aiming at preventing GDM. A cluster-randomized controlled trial was conduct…
O2-4.5 Prevention of gestational diabetes mellitus and newborn's high birthweight by lifestyle counselling –a cluster-randomised controlled trial
Introduction To examine, whether gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) or newborns9 high birthweight can be prevented by lifestyle counselling. Methods A cluster-randomised trial in 14 municipalities, where 2271 women were screened at 8–12 weeks9 gestation. Euglycaemic (N=399) women with at least one GDM risk factor were included. Intervention included individual intensified counselling on physical activity, diet and weight gain at five antenatal v…
