  • Intersectional inequalities in paediatric infectious diseases

    Open AccessSamuel Videholm, Sven Arne Silfverdal et al.ARTICLEJournal of Epidemiology and…2024References: 24

    BACKGROUND: It is well known that socially deprived children are more likely to be hospitalised for infections. Less is known about how different social disadvantages interact. Therefore, we examine intersectional inequalities in overall, upper respiratory, lower respiratory, enteric and genitourinary infections in the first 5 years of life. METHODS: We conducted a population-based retrospective cohort study of Swedish children born between 1998 …

    Open AccessMasoud Vaezghasemi, Anni-Maria Pulkki-Brännström et al.ARTICLEGlobal Health Action2023

    BACKGROUND: Social-emotional ability is important for overall health and wellbeing in early childhood.

  • Multifaceted determinants of social-emotional problems in preschool children in Sweden

    Open AccessMasoud Vaezghasemi, Thomas Vogt et al.ARTICLESSM - Population Health2023

We adopted a holistic approach by using Bronfenbrenner's process-person-context-time model as a structuring device. We aimed to assess what characte…

  • Abnormal birth weights for gestational age in relation to maternal characteristics in Sweden

    Open AccessMin Wai Lwin, Erika Timby et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2023

    The main findings suggest that multiparity, maternal pre-pregnancy overweight and obesity are strong determinants for LGA babies. Public health interventions should address modifiable risk factors, especially maternal overweight and obesity. These findings suggest that overweight and obesity is an emerging public health threat for newborn health. This might also result in the intergenerational transfer of overweight and obesity. These are importa…

  • Associations between toddlers’ and parents’ BMI, in relation to family socio-demography

    Open AccessMarie Lindkvist, Anneli Ivarsson et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2015

    High BMI is common even in toddlers in this population. The risk increases if one parent is overweight, and it increases even more if both parents are overweight. The results in this study confirm the importance of considering familial risk factors when examining child health and BMI at ordinary child health care visits already at an early age
