Emotional Well‐Being Trajectories Before and After Statutory Retirement—Contributions of Social and Health‐Related Factors
Aging population in OECD countries and the rising mental disorder burden highlight the need to understand statutory retirement's contribution to emotional well‐being. However, the relationship between statutory retirement and emotional well‐being remains underexplored. Clarifying this relationship can help policymakers enhance pension systems to better support statutory retirees' well‐being. This study examined emotional well‐being trajectories 1…
Life-course socioeconomic circumstances and changes in leisure-time physical activity among young and early midlife employees
While socioeconomic differences in leisure-time physical activity (LTPA) are well established, less is known about the contribution of socioeconomic factors to changes in LTPA. This study examined the associations between life-course socioeconomic position (SEP) and changes in LTPA over a 5-year follow-up among young and early midlife employees. This study used the Helsinki Health Study follow-up survey data, comprised of employees of the City of…
The association between pain and diagnosis-specific long-term sickness absence at different levels of body mass index – a register-linked cohort study
Chronic (≥ 3 months) pain and obesity (body mass index [BMI] ≥ 30 kg/m2) are both associated with long-term sickness absence (LTSA). This study aimed to examine the contribution of acute ( 10 working days) at different levels of BMI among young and early midlife employees. Helsinki Health Study questionnaire data covering 19–39-year-old employees were collected in 2017 (n = 4091). Pain was classified as no pain, acute pain, or chronic pain. BMI w…
Weight management and its educational differences among retired individuals living with obesity—a salutogenic approach
A salutogenic orientation, which focuses on health and well-being rather than illness, was evident in many ways in how participants approached their weight management. Educational differences were moderate overall and hinted at specific characteristics of how the resources were utilized. Comprehensibility, manageability, and meaningfulness were evident in the results for both educational groups. According to the results of this study, retired ind…
Having lunch at the staff canteen and plant food consumption among 19–39-year-old Finnish employees
Having lunch at the staff canteen was associated with more frequent fresh and cooked vegetable consumption. The results warrant further studies, including interventions, investigating whether and how staff canteens could promote the consumption of plant foods among employees
Inequalities in recovery or methodological artefact? A comparison of models across physical and mental health functioning
Considerable attention has been paid to inequalities in health. More recently, focus has also turned to inequalities in 'recovery'; with research, for example, suggesting that lower grade of employment is strongly associated with slower recovery from both poor physical and poor mental health. However, this research has tended to operationalise recovery as 'return to baseline', and we know less about patterns and predictors when recovery is situat…
Intergenerational social mobility and body mass index trajectories – A follow-up study from Finland
Evidence remains unclear on how intergenerational social mobility is associated with body mass index (BMI) and its long-term changes. Our study identified BMI trajectories from middle to older age by intergenerational social mobility groups and stratified the analyses by gender and two birth cohorts (birth years 1940‒1947 and 1950-1962). We used questionnaire-based cohort data that consists of four survey phases: 2000-2002, 2007, 2012, and 2017. …
Body Mass Index Trajectory–Specific Changes in Economic Circumstances
Economic disadvantage is related to a higher risk of adulthood obesity, but few studies have considered whether changes in economic circumstances depend on a person's body mass index (BMI) trajectory. We identified latent BMI trajectories among midlife and ageing Finns and captured individual-level changes in economic circumstances within the BMI trajectories utilizing sequence analysis. We used the Helsinki Health Study cohort data of initially …
