  • Visual memory and alcohol use in a middle-aged birth cohort

    Open AccessAtiqul Haq Mazumder, Jennifer H Barnett et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2024

    Light and moderate alcohol use has been reported to be associated with both impaired and enhanced cognition. The purpose of this study was to explore whether there was a linear relationship between visual memory and alcohol consumption in males and females in a large middle-aged birth cohort population in cross-sectional and longitudinal settings. Data were collected from 5585 participants completing 31-year (1997-1998) and 46-year (2012-2014) fo…

    Open AccessMarko Kantomaa, Marko T Kantomaa et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal of…2023

    We investigated the influence of a farming environment on asthma at three time points from birth to 46 years using the Northern Finland Birth Cohort 1966 (n = 10,926). The prevalence of asthma was investigated by postal questionnaires at 14, 31 and 46 years of age. Exposure to a farming environment was assessed by a postal questionnaire at birth and at 31 and 46 years of age. Odds ratios (ORs) and their 95% confidence intervals (95% CIs) for the …

  • Associations of adolescents’ diet and meal patterns with school performance in the Northern Finland Birth Cohort 1986

    Open AccessLoukas Zagkos, Fotios Drenos et al.ARTICLEAppetite2023Referencias: 57

    BACKGROUND: Several observational studies indicate that dietary habits in children and adolescents are associated with school performance. These associations are heavily confounded by socio-economic characteristics, such as household income and parents' educational attainment, amongst other factors. The objective of this study was to explore the association between diet and school performance in adolescents from the Northern Finland Birth Cohort …

  • Cardiometabolic Disorders in the Offspring of Parents With Severe Mental Illness

    Open AccessMaria Protsenko, Martta Kerkelä et al.ARTICLEPsychosomatic Medicine2022

    OBJECTIVE: The elevated prevalence of cardiometabolic disorders is consistently reported in patients with severe mental illness (SMI). We explored the association between parental SMI and offspring cardiometabolic morbidity. Our hypothesis was that offspring of people with SMI have increased morbidity risk. METHOD: The Northern Finland Birth Cohort 1966 is a study of offspring whose date of birth was expected in 1966. The follow-up lasted until 2…

    Open AccessMirthe Muilwijk, Marie Loh et al.ARTICLEBMJ Global Health2021

    INTRODUCTION: South Asians are at high risk of type 2 diabetes (T2D). We assessed whether intensive family-based lifestyle intervention leads to significant weight loss, improved glycaemia and blood pressure in adults at elevated risk for T2D. METHODS: This cluster randomised controlled trial (iHealth-T2D) was conducted at 120 locations across India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka and the UK. We included 3684 South Asian men and women, aged 40-70 years, wit…

  • Early exposure to social disadvantages and later life body mass index beyond genetic predisposition in three generations of Finnish birth cohorts

    Open AccessEstelle Lowry, Nina Rautio et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2020

    High social disadvantage in early life appears to be associated with higher BMI in later life. Reducing exposure to social disadvantage during the life-course may be a potential pathway for obesity reduction

  • Understanding the cumulative risk of maternal prenatal biopsychosocial factors on birth weight

    Open AccessPriyanka Parmar, Estelle Lowry et al.ARTICLEJournal of Epidemiology and…2020Referencias: 33

    Background There are various maternal prenatal biopsychosocial (BPS) predictors of birth weight, making it difficult to quantify their cumulative relationship. Methods We studied two birth cohorts: Northern Finland Birth Cohort 1986 (NFBC1986) born in 1985–1986 and the Generation R Study (from the Netherlands) born in 2002–2006. In NFBC1986, we selected variables depicting BPS exposure in association with birth weight and performed factor analysi…

  • New alcohol-related genes suggest shared genetic mechanisms with neuropsychiatric disorders

    Open AccessE Evangelou, He Gao et al.ARTICLENature Human Behaviour2019Referencias: 85

    Excessive alcohol consumption is one of the main causes of death and disability worldwide. Alcohol consumption is a heritable complex trait. We conducted a meta-analysis of genome-wide association studies (GWAS) of gram/day (g/d) alcohol consumption in UK-Biobank, AlcGen and CHARGE+ consortia accumulating 480,842 people of European descent to decipher the genetic architecture of alcohol intake. We identified 46 novel, common loci, and investigate…

  • Prenatal determinants of physical activity and cardiorespiratory fitness in adolescence – Northern Finland Birth Cohort 1986 study

    Open AccessMarjaana Tikanmäki, Tuija H Tammelin et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2017

    A high birth weight and parental overweight/obesity are associated with lower levels of both physical activity and cardiorespiratory fitness in adolescence, while maternal GDM and longer length of gestation are associated with lower cardiorespiratory fitness. Both long and short lengths of gestation predict low physical activity

  • Longitudinal Pathways from Cumulative Contextual Risk at Birth to School Functioning in Adolescence

  • Stress-related eating, obesity and associated behavioural traits in adolescents

    Open AccessAnne Jääskeläinen, Nina Nevanperä et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2014

    Stress-related eating is highly prevalent among 16-year-old girls and is associated with obesity as well as adverse dietary and other health behaviours among both genders, but intrauterine conditions are seemingly uninvolved. In terms of obesity prevention and future health, adolescents who use eating as a passive way of coping could benefit from learning healthier strategies for stress and weight management

  • Life course structural equation model of the effects of prenatal and postnatal growth on adult blood pressure

    Marika Kaakinen, Ulla Sovio et al.ARTICLEJournal of Epidemiology and…2014Referencias: 35

    BACKGROUND: Fetal and postnatal growth have been associated with adult blood pressure (BP), but findings about the relative importance of growth at different stages of life on BP are inconsistent. METHODS: The study population comprised 5198 participants from the Northern Finland Birth Cohort 1966 with data on birth weight, height and weight measurements until adolescence, systolic and diastolic BP at 31 years and several covariates. Structural e…

  • The association between physical fitness and depressive symptoms among young adults

    Open AccessKadri Suija, Markku Timonen et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2013

    The results indicate that low level of isometric endurance capacity of trunk extensor muscles is associated with high level of depressive symptoms in both sexes. In males, also poor handgrip strength is associated with increased levels of depressive symptoms. The physical activity level is inversely associated with the prevalence of depressive symptoms among young adults

  • Associations between pre-pregnancy obesity and asthma symptoms in adolescents

    Open AccessSwatee P Patel, Swatee Patel et al.ARTICLEJournal of Epidemiology and…2012Referencias: 38

    BACKGROUND: The high prevalence of children's asthma symptoms, worldwide, is unexplained. We examined the relation between maternal pre-pregnancy weight and body mass index (BMI), and asthma symptoms in adolescents. METHODS: Data from 6945 adolescents born within the Northern Finland Birth Cohort 1986 were used. Prospective antenatal and birth outcome data, including maternal pre-pregnancy weight and BMI, and asthma symptoms in adolescent offspri…

  • A Common Variant in the FTO Gene Is Associated with Body Mass Index and Predisposes to Childhood and Adult Obesity

    Open AccessTimothy M Frayling, Nicholas John Timpson et al.ARTICLEScience2007

    Obesity is a serious international health problem that increases the risk of several common diseases. The genetic factors predisposing to obesity are poorly understood. A genome-wide search for type 2 diabetesâ susceptibility genes identified a common variant in the FTO (fat mass and obesity associated) gene that predisposes to diabetes through an effect on body mass index (BMI). An additive association of the variant with BMI was replicated in 1…
