Active labour market policies in emerging adulthood may act as a protective factor against future depressiveness
Introduction: Drawing upon the framework of life course epidemiology, this study aligns with research on the mental health consequences of significant social transitions during early adulthood. The focus is on the variation in initial labour market attachment and the development of depressiveness, assuming that a firm attachment is associated with decreasing depressiveness. Methods: = 1,001) took place during their final year of compulsory school…
Psychosocial conditions during school-age as determinants of long-term labour market attachment
This study contributes to existing knowledge through its novel exploration of labour market attachment and the revelation of the significance of proximal interpersonal relationships in attachment outcomes. Additionally, the study reaffirms the importance of externalizing behaviour, while suggesting that internalized symptoms in adolescence might have a less influential, though not negligible, role. These results underscore the importance of addre…
Is unemployment in young adulthood related to self-rated health later in life? Results from the Northern Swedish cohort
Even among those becoming unemployed during young adulthood, unemployment is related to a negative long-term health effect. However, the effect varies among different groups of individuals. Increased emphasis on understanding the groups for whom unemployment is most strongly related to ill health is important for future research so that efforts can be put towards those with the biggest need. Still, our results can be used as the basis for decidin…
Children of boom and recession and the scars to the mental health – a comparative study on the long term effects of youth unemployment
The scars of unemployment exposure onto future health seem to be rather insensitive to economic trades. Thus, at the population level this would mean that the long-term health costs that can be attributed to youth unemployment are more widespread in the generation that suffers of recession around the entry to the work life
Work situation and self-perceived economic situation as predictors of change in burnout – a prospective general population-based cohort study
Risk factors in work situation and self-perceived economy are related to changes in burnout level, and special attention should be directed towards persons exposed to multiple risk factors
How does unemployment affect self-assessed health? A systematic review focusing on subgroup effects
Job strain and depressive symptoms in men and women
BACKGROUND: Several prospective studies have indicated increased risk of developing depressive symptoms in employees who report psychologically demanding and uncontrollable work (job strain). There are diverging findings regarding gender differences in this relationship. The aim was to analyse whether men and women differ with regard to the prospective relationship between adverse psychosocial work environment and depressive symptoms during a 2-y…
Life-Course Accumulation of Neighborhood Disadvantage and Allostatic Load
Objectives. We examined if the accumulation of neighborhood disadvantages from adolescence to mid-adulthood were related to allostatic load, a measure of cumulative biological risk, in mid-adulthood, and explored whether this association was similar in women and men. Methods. Data were from the participants in the Northern Swedish Cohort (analytical n = 818) at ages 16, 21, 30, and 43 years in 1981, 1986, 1995, and 2008. Personal living condition…
Parental academic involvement in adolescence, academic achievement over the life course and allostatic load in middle age
BACKGROUND: Parental involvement in their children's studies, particularly in terms of academic socialisation, has been shown to predict academic achievement, and is thus a candidate modifiable factor influencing life course socioeconomic circumstances. Socioeconomic disadvantage is thought to impact on health over the life course partly by allostatic load, that is, cumulative biological risk. We sought to elucidate the role of parental involveme…
Energy and nutrient intakes in relation to sex and socio-economic status among school adolescents in urban Cameroon, Africa
Objective To assess energy and nutrient intakes and physical activity of adolescents in urban Cameroon according to sex and socio-economic status (SES). Design Cross-sectional study with adolescents randomly selected from schools in low-, middle- and high-SES areas. Weight and height were measured and information about food intake and physical activity was obtained through repeated individual 24 h recalls. Under- and over-reporting of energy inta…
Socioeconomic status over the life course and allostatic load in adulthood
BACKGROUND: Although several studies have reported rather consistent associations between socioeconomic status (SES) and allostatic load (AL), so far no study has examined the influence of SES over the life course on AL. The aim of the present study was to investigate the association between SES over the life course and AL in mid-adulthood, guided by the conceptual models of cumulative risk, critical period and social chain of risk. METHODS: The …
Burnout, working conditions and gender - results from the northern Sweden Monica Study
Working life conditions contributed to the level of burnout in this actively working sample from the general population in northern Sweden. Especially in women, socioeconomic position was associated with burnout. The high level of burnout in women compared to men was partly explained by more unfavourable working conditions and life situational factors. Efforts to level out gender differences in burnout should probably focus on improving both work…
Fetal and life course origins of serum lipids in mid-adulthood
Social circumstances during the life course seem to be of greater importance than birth weight for dyslipidemia and serum lipid levels in adulthood
Is body size at birth related to circadian salivary cortisol levels in adulthood? Results from a longitudinal cohort study
These results are contradictory to previously reported negative associations between birth weight and adult cortisol levels, and thus tentatively question the assumption that only low birth weight predicts future physiological dysregulations
Comparing mortality rates and recognizing health selection bias
Timing of retirement and mortality - A cohort study of Swedish construction workers
Which theory is best? Explanatory models of the relationship between unemployment and health
Studies comparing different explanatory models in the field are rare. Few models apply a multidisciplinary approach. In view of the findings, it should be possible to develop multidisciplinary and better models to explain the links between unemployment and health in more detail
Adolescent's perceptions and expectations of parental action on children's smoking and snus use; national cross sectional data from three decades
Adolescent smoking in Sweden has decreased and the proportion who never tried smoking has increased. The results of this study show that a growing majority of adolescents support strong parental intervention to help them refrain from tobacco, but preferably not in a punitive manner. This finding dismisses the notion that adolescents ignore or even disdain parental practices concerning tobacco. Prevention strategies and interventions addressing ad…
Household out-of-pocket payments for illness
The main findings indicate that catastrophic health care spending for a household is not usually the result of one single disastrous event, but rather a series of events and is related more to "every-day illnesses" in a developing country context than to more spectacular events such as injuries or heart illnesses
Health selection in a 14-year follow-up study-A question of gendered discrimination
Overweight, obesity and fat distribution in 50- to 64-year-old participants in the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition (Epic)
Objective: To describe anthropometric characteristics of participants of the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition (EPIC). Design: A cross-sectional analysis of baseline data of a European prospective cohort study. Subjects: This analysis includes study populations from 25 centres in nine European countries. The British populations comprised both a population-based and a ‘health-conscious’ group. The analysis was restricted…
Do high levels of unemployment influence the health of those who are not unemployed? A gendered comparison of young men and women during boom and recession
Does Low Willingness to Respond Introduce a Bias? Results from a Socio‐epidemiological study among Young Men and Women
The aim of this study was to investigate if willingness to respond can introduce bias in a population survey and to study the socio‐economic characteristics of those with high and low willingness to respond. Two groups of final‐year pupils at compulsory school were surveyed five years after leaving school, at the age of 21. The data were collected during class meetings, by mailed questionnaires, telephone and personal interviews. The response rat…
