This study estimates excess mortality in 2024 using only pre-pandemic years as the reference, providing a basis for identifying excess COVID-19 related mortality.Methods: We estimated excess mortality in 2024 using a negative binomial model trained on 2010-2019 data. Deaths were modelled by age (0, 1-19, 20-39, 40-64, 65-79, 80-89 and 90+ years) and sex, with population offsets. Expected mortality was projected using both a conservative approach where the prediction for 2023 was carried forward to 2024 and a non-conservative linear extrapolation to 2024.Results: The conservative approach estimated 2898 excess deaths (7.0%; 95% prediction interval (PI), 4.9-9.1%) in 2024. Significant excess mortality was observed in age groups 1-19 (45 deaths; 36.6% excess), 20-39 (107 deaths; 17.6% excess), 40-64 (439 deaths; 10.6% excess) and 65-79 (1631 deaths; 13.7% excess). Ages 1-39 and 40-64 accounted for approximately 5% and 15% of total excess mortality, respectively.Conclusions: Persistent excess mortality from 2022 to 2024 suggests a new elevated mortality baseline and a reduction or reversal of Norway's pre-pandemic mortality decline. Although multiple factors may contribute, given sustained excess mortality since 2022, our findings suggest that the unmitigated spread of SARS-CoV-2 in Norway since 2022 can be associated with increased mortality, particularly for those under 65.","PeriodicalId":49568,"journal":{"name":"Scandinavian Journal of Public Health","volume":" ","pages":"14034948251371830"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2025-09-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145024673","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The intervention builds on the Five Ways to Wellbeing framework, and promotes five action domains: connect with others, be physically active, take notice, keep learning, and give. The study objectives include assessing the intervention's acceptability, appropriateness, feasibility, fidelity, and cost, as well as its impact on students' wellbeing and mental health.Methods: The study is a hybrid effectiveness-implementation trial using mixed methods. It is a longitudinal, two-armed, non-randomized, controlled study involving students in grades 5 to 10 (ages 10 to 16). The primary outcomes are the intervention's acceptability and feasibility, and its effectiveness on students' wellbeing. Data collection includes web-based questionnaires for students and teachers, and qualitative interviews with teachers. Quantitative data will be analysed using multilevel regression models and network intervention analysis, while qualitative data will be analysed using thematic analysis.Conclusions: The study aims to provide insights into the implementation and effectiveness of the wellbeing-promoting 5Ways@School intervention. The findings could inform the optimization of the 5Ways@School and other future school-based interventions, and thereby contribute to the wellbeing of children and young people.

A total of 32,126 people, aged 18+ years, were included in the analyses, of which 8% were migrants. Around 60% of these were from countries within the European Economic Area, associated countries or the UK, USA, Canada, Australia and New Zealand (EEA+).Results: Migrants from non-EEA+ countries showed higher odds of having sought professional mental health help than non-migrants, but this difference attenuated when controlling for sociodemographic factors, psychological distress and self-reported depression. An interaction revealed that at higher, but not lower, levels of psychological distress, non-EEA+ migrants had significantly lower odds of having sought help. Moreover, a stratified analysis indicated that this applied only to those without self-reported depression.Conclusions: At high levels of psychological distress, people from non-EEA+ regions living in Norway may not be getting professional support for mental health problems to the same extent as EEA+ migrants and non-migrants. This may especially be the case for those who do not perceive their symptoms as a mental health problem. Consequently, improving the ability to recognise mental health problems may be a possible avenue for reducing the treatment gap for migrants with high symptom levels, though longitudinal studies would be required to confirm this.","PeriodicalId":49568,"journal":{"name":"Scandinavian Journal of Public Health","volume":" ","pages":"14034948251362562"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2025-09-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144994277","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The objective of this study was to investigate the association of prospectively measured CSEP with a variety of health outcomes in mid to old age among residents in Northern Norway.Methods: This study linked health data from the population-based Tromsø Study to the Historical Population Register of Norway. Using Cox proportional hazards models, logistic and ordinal logistic regression, we investigated sex-specific associations between fathers' occupation in 1950 and all-cause mortality (n=7056), as well as chronic disease prevalence and self-rated health (n=4576) at age 50 years and older among Tromsø Study participants born in 1930-1955.Results: Self-rated health showed the strongest association with CSEP and a clear social gradient that was more pronounced among women. We found only minor differences in all-cause mortality and varying patterns for prevalence of chronic diseases by CSEP. High CSEP was associated with lower prevalence of chronic respiratory diseases for both women and men, and higher odds for cancer among women. Associations were attenuated when educational level was included in the models.Conclusions: \u0000 Prospectively measured CSEP was associated with later-life health, although to a varying degree depending on the health indicator under study.

Monthly relative deviations from the expected SA recipient numbers given no seasonality were calculated for each diagnostic group defined by digits of ICD-10 codes. The seasonal deviations in 411 different diagnoses were used as input in an unsupervised learning method, the K-means clustering algorithm, to identify specific diagnoses susceptible to seasonal variation.Results: The number of long-term SA recipients was lowest in the summer, and reached three peaks in February-March, October, and December. We identified three seasonal patterns by diagnostic group. A winter and autumn peaks cluster (6% of SA recipients) consisted of 42 diagnostic groups, such as sleep disorders. A spring high cluster (81%) included mainly mental and musculoskeletal diagnoses. An autumn high cluster (13%) consisted of a mixed set of 262 diagnostic groups, including stress-, injury-, and musculoskeletal disorder-related diagnoses. These clusters differed in terms of the age and gender of the recipients.Conclusions: \u0000 There is substantial potential to reduce SA by addressing its seasonal determinants.

However, selective non-response can introduce bias, potentially compromising survey representativeness. This study assesses non-response patterns in NCPHS using registry data on health-related benefits.Methods: NCPHS comprises cross-sectional web-based surveys assessing various health metrics in Norway's adult population. This study uses data from NCPHS conducted in Hordaland County (April 10 to May 17 2018). Health data, including sickness benefits, disability pension and work assessment allowance (WAA), were linked from national registries.Results: From 34,925 invited residents, the response rate was 45.3%, with higher rates among females (50.0%), older individuals (61.0% for ages 60-69 years) and those with higher education (55.9%). Sickness benefit was not associated with participation rates (adjusted risk ratio (RR) 0.96 I, 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.90-1.02). Disability pension, particularly for mental and behavioural disorders, was associated with lower response rates (adjusted RR 0.81, 95% CI: 0.72-0.92). WAA had no overall significant effect, but WWA due to psychological conditions was related to lower response propensity (adjusted RR 0.85, 95% CI: 0.73-0.99).Conclusions: \u0000 These findings suggest that health-related non-response associated with these benefits has a limited impact on overall population estimates but may introduce bias in specific subgroups, depending on the research question. Though the degree selection into a survey creates bias depend on the research question, knowing that there is relatively little selection by factors such as sickness benefit, WAA and disability pension is important as 22-23% of the population aged 18-67 receive one of these benefits at any time.\u0000 ","PeriodicalId":49568,"journal":{"name":"Scandinavian Journal of Public Health","volume":" ","pages":"14034948251360674"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2025-08-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144795982","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
