Regional social capital and fertility rate
While many studies find that received social capital matters for childbearing on the individual level, few studies have investigated how regional social factors relate to fertility rates. In the current study, we used data from 299 municipalities in Finland to examine how different measures of social capital are associated with total fertility rates at the regional level. Data for social indicators were derived from a large national survey (n = 1…
Identifying vulnerable groups in academic burnout among higher education students
Academic burnout is a major concern in higher education. We aimed to identify lifestyle groups among students using latent class analyses and to examine how sociodemographic characteristics and these lifestyle groups were associated with academic burnout. A representative population-based survey of Finnish higher education students (n = 3639; aged 18–34 y) was conducted in 2024. Latent class analyses of the lifestyles (physical activity, use of n…
Establishing Academic Burnout’s Relationship with Problematic Internet Use and Specific Health-Risk Behaviours
Problematic Internet use is recognised as an emerging public health issue, particularly among young adults. Yet, there is scarce information on problematic Internet use as a predictor for academic burnout. This study aimed to identify academic burnout’s association with both problematic Internet use and specific health-risk behaviour among higher education students. We analysed the population-based cross-sectional survey data (with post-stratific…
Residential mobility and social capital
Multiple factors can influence the rates of residential mobility flows between different regions of a country. Studies have often focused on demographic and economic factors, but social conditions may be relevant as well. We examined whether different indicators of social capital (i.e., social support, loneliness, social trust, community participation, cultural activities, and meeting other people) were associated with population migration rates …
Psychological and social wellbeing associated with regional population change in Finland
Regional depopulation is an increasingly common demographic issue in many countries, as population growth becomes concentrated in small number of urban centres. Depopulation has adverse effects on the region's socioeconomic development, and often leads to worse living circumstances, such as poor availability of services. Population growth, by contrast, has many socioeconomic benefits but may also introduce unwanted consequences, such as urban ali…
Differences in Unfavorable Lifestyle Changes during the Covid-19 Pandemic between People with and without Disabilities in Finland
We investigated whether people with disabilities-cognition, vision, hearing, mobility, or at least one of these disabilities-report more COVID-19-related negative lifestyle changes than those without disabilities, and whether psychological distress (MHI-5) mediates the association between disabilities and negative lifestyle changes. Information about COVID-related lifestyle changes among people with disabilities is scarce. We analyzed population-…
Single-parenthood and perceived income insufficiency as challenges for meal patterns in childhood
Finnish experiences of health monitoring
BACKGROUND: Finland has a long tradition of gathering information about the health and welfare of the adult population. DESIGN: Surveys and administrative registers form the basis for national and local health monitoring in Finland. RESULTS: Different data sources are used in Finland to develop key indicators, which can be used to evaluate how the national health policy targets have been met in different parts of the country and in different popu…
Associations between parental BMI, socioeconomic factors, family structure and overweight in Finnish children
The observed pathways between parental BMI and education and childhood overweight emphasize a need for evidence-based health promotion interventions tailored for families identified with parental overweight and low level of education
