  • Occupational groups and risk of suicidal behavior in men

    Open AccessJenny Nyberg, Catrin Wessman et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2024

    Men with elementary occupations as well as personal care and building and manufacturing workers were at greatest risk. This study provides a comprehensive description of risks for suicidal behaviour among occupational groups in men of working-age. These results suggest occupational groups that should be targeted for general suicide prevention intervention

  • Social Support and Subclinical Coronary Artery Disease in Middle-Aged Men and Women

    Open AccessDemir Djekic, Erika Fagman et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal of…2020

    Social support has been associated with coronary artery disease (CAD), particularly in individuals who have sustained a cardiovascular event. This study investigated the relationship between social support and subclinical CAD among 1067 healthy middle-aged men and women. Social support was assessed with validated social integration and emotional attachment measures. Subclinical CAD was assessed as a coronary artery calcium score (CACS) using comp…

  • Differences in Health

    Open AccessHelene Castenbrandt, Bárbara A Revuelta Eugercios et al.ARTICLESocial History of Medicine2019Citada por: 3

    Sickness funds information has given conflicting evidence on the evolution of morbidity during the mortality decline. Evidence on increased morbidity has been explained by an actual increase of morbidity, a cultural inflation of morbidity or changing institutional settings, however, morbidity rates have also been shown to be stable over time when age composition of members is controlled for. Most previous studies have been confined to data on men…

  • Cause-specific mortality in Swedish males diagnosed with non-psychotic mental disorders in late adolescence

    Malin Henriksson, Jenny Nyberg et al.ARTICLEJournal of Epidemiology and…2018Referências: 39

    BACKGROUND: While risk of premature death is most pronounced among persons with severe mental illness, also milder conditions are associated with increased all-cause mortality. We examined non-psychotic mental (NPM) disorders and specific causes of natural death in a cohort of late adolescent men followed for up to 46 years. METHODS: Prospective cohort study of Swedish males (n=1 784 626) who took part in structured conscription interviews 1968-2…

  • Job strain and resting heart rate

    Open AccessPeter Eriksson, Linus Schiöler et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2016

    Low job control and job strain, but not job demands, were associated with elevated resting heart rate. However, the observed associations were modest and may be explained by confounding effects

  • Validation of self-reported figural drawing scales against anthropometric measurements in adults

    Open AccessJulia Dratva, Randi Bertelsen et al.ARTICLEPublic Health Nutrition2016

    Objective The aim of the present study was to validate figural drawing scales depicting extremely lean to extremely obese subjects to obtain proxies for BMI and waist circumference in postal surveys. Design Reported figural scales and anthropometric data from a large population-based postal survey were validated with measured anthropometric data from the same individuals by means of receiver-operating characteristic curves and a BMI prediction mo…

  • Psychosocial job conditions, fear avoidance beliefs and expected return to work following acute coronary syndrome

    Open AccessMia Söderberg, Annika Rosengren et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2015

    This cross-sectional study showed that acute coronary syndrome survivors, who laboured under adverse psychosocial work conditions, held fear-avoidance beliefs towards their workplace. Furthermore, these beliefs mediated the relationships between - high strained or high effort-reward imbalanced work - and expected return to work. However, mentioned results were primarily found among men, which could results from few female study participants or ge…

  • Psychosocial work environment, job mobility and gender differences in turnover behaviour

    Open AccessMia Söderberg, Annika Härenstam et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2014

    The results indicate that workers will seek to improve poor work environment by changing jobs. There were notable gender differences, where men tended to engage in job mobility when exposed to adverse psychosocial factors, while women did not. The lack of measures for mechanisms driving job mobility was a limitation of this study, thus preventing conclusions regarding psychosocial factors as the primary source for job mobility

  • Explaining the social gradient in sickness absence

    Open AccessJesper Löve, Gunnel Hensing et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2013

    The present study strengthens the scientific evidence that social differences in physical work conditions seem to comprise a key element of the social gradient in sickness absence, particularly in women. Future studies should try to identify further predictors for this gradient in men

  • Can work ability explain the social gradient in sickness absence

    Open AccessJesper Löve, Kristina Holmgren et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2012

    These results suggest that physical work ability may be an important key in explaining the social gradient in sickness absence, particularly in women. Hence, it is possible that the factors associated with the social gradient in sickness absence may differ, to some extent, between women and men

  • A cross-sectional study of the relationship between job demand-control, effort-reward imbalance and cardiovascular heart disease risk factors

    Open AccessMia Söderberg, Annika Rosengren et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2012

    There were some associations between psychosocial stressors and CHD risk factors. The cross-sectional design did not allow conclusions about causality but some results indicated gender differences regarding sensitivity to work stressors and also how the models might capture different psychosocial dimensions

  • Risk factors for respiratory work disability in a cohort of pulp mill workers exposed to irritant gases

    Open AccessNicola Murgia, Kjell Torén et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2011

    This cohort study of pulp mill workers found that irritant peak exposure during gassing episodes was a strong predictor of changing work due to respiratory problems, even after adjustment for asthma, chronic bronchitis, and chronic rhinitis

  • Eating patterns and portion size associated with obesity in a Swedish population

  • Association between annoyance and individuals’ values of nitrogen dioxide in a European setting

    Bénédicte Jacquemin, Jordi Sunyer et al.ARTICLEJournal of Epidemiology and…2008Referências: 19

    INTRODUCTION: Annoyance caused by air pollution has been proposed as an indicator of exposure to air pollution. The aim of this study was to assess the geographical homogeneity of the relationship between annoyance and modelled home-based nitrogen dioxide (NO2) measurements. METHODS: The European Community Respiratory Health Survey II was conducted in 2000-1, in 25 European centres in 12 countries. This analysis included 4753 subjects (from 37 in…
