These data were prospectively linked to the Finnish Centre for Pensions' register data on pDP and fDP up to 2021 for those who had provided informed consent for such linkage (mean follow-up of 3 years). We included those who responded to the study surveys both before and after pDP (n = 235). Changes after transition to pDP in the physical strenuousness of work and in a constructed physical workload summary scale were analysed using log-binomial regression.Results: After transition to pDP, physical workload decreased among 20% of the participants, remained constantly low among 44% and constantly high among 36%.

We examined factors both within (recurrent pain in different parts of the body) and beyond (repeated bullying, depressive symptoms, screen time and organised activity frequency) medication indications by means of logistic regression. Covariates and background variables included sleep duration, frequency of sports activities, gender, age and socioeconomic status.Results: The results revealed a high prevalence of recent OTC analgesic use (23.7%).

Data on the population's smoking habits was retrieved from surveys and from taxation on the sale of cigarettes. The occurrence of larynx cancer was compared to smoking habits, sex and age. The time trends were compared between larynx and lung cancer.Results: Over the years, Swedish men and women have had different smoking habits, especially older persons during the 1970s. In 1963, the prevalence of current smokers in women 50-69 years was 11%, while it was 46% in men. Around 2020, less than 10% of men and women in all age groups were current smokers. However, men had higher incidence rates of larynx cancer than women, even when their smoking habits were similar. For example, men and women 60-64 years of age in 2017-2021 had similar smoking habits during their life but the relative risk of larynx cancer in men compared to women was 3.3 (95% CI 1.7-4.8). However, pipe smoking was much more common in men.Conclusions: \u0000 The study indicates that other causes than cigarette smoking have an impact on the occurrence of larynx cancer in Sweden.

Data on 10 mental health indices were gathered, along with socio-demographic factors of schoolchildren. General linear model and binary logistic regression were employed for assessing the associations of mental health indices with socio-demographic factors.Results: Overall, the prevalence of poorer mental health indices was 5.2% for not good health, 61% for feeling low, 59% for irritability, 56% for nervousness, 33% for sleep difficulties, 31% for loneliness, 16% for low mood, 36% for low self-efficacy, 15% for anxiety and 35% for negative COVID-19 impact on mental health.

Given that hip fracture incidence differs by educational attainment, and that a shift in the older population's educational level will manifest itself in coming decades, we investigated future hip fracture trends in Norway and their variation by attained educational level.Methods: Estimated annual hip fracture numbers in the population aged 50+ years in 2020-2050 were based on information from the Norwegian Epidemiologic Osteoporosis Studies hip fracture database and official population projections from Statistics Norway. Projected educational attainment was obtained from the Wittgenstein Centre for Demography and Global Human Capital. We explored two scenarios: first, assuming that the observed 2019 rates remain constant until 2050, and second, assuming a continuing rate of decline corresponding to that observed during 1999-2019.Results: The projections showed that the annual number of hip fractures will increase by 91% in women and 131% in men given constant sex- and age-specific rates, and by 27% in women and 66% in men given declining rates. The majority of hip fractures are expected in the group with secondary education, however, the numbers will increase steeply in people with tertiary education due to the temporal shift in educational attainment.Conclusions: \u0000 The annual number of hip fractures may double by 2050, placing high demands on the healthcare services. The majority of hip fractures are projected to occur in people with secondary and tertiary education.

Of these, 499 (24.5%) resigned by 31 December 2020. The most important predictors for remaining in the GP scheme throughout the follow-up period were (a) having a high activity-based income and (b) being a specialist in general medicine. The most important predictors for leaving the GP scheme were (a) working more than 50 days per year in the emergency room and (b) working in less central areas.Conclusions: \u0000 High income, specialisation and a large patient base predicted staying in the GP scheme, whereas working in emergency rooms and less central areas predicted leaving.

Following the dietary recommendations is an important step towards sustainability.Aim: To identify challenges and potential solutions for transitioning towards more sustainable diets in Norway.Methods: We used scientific articles, reports, policy documents, and statistics on Norwegian food production and consumption to discuss a sustainable diet in a Norwegian context.Results and discussion: There is a large gap between dietary guidelines and actual consumption. More than 60% of the calories in the Norwegian diet are based on imported foods and feed. Changing people's diet is identified as central in transforming the food system to become more sustainable, as is prioritizing the use of local resources. Good animal health and welfare are also fundamental premises for a sustainable food system.Conclusions: Transitioning to a more sustainable diet requires comprehensive efforts at multiple levels. There is considerable room for action to increase the use of Norwegian resources in a sustainable and responsible way. Potential strategies include reducing meat intake in favour of plant-based foods and fish, consuming more local products, decreasing food waste and supporting agricultural practices that promote environmental and social sustainability. A more sustainable diet may also lead to significantly increased self-sufficiency and food security in Norway.","PeriodicalId":49568,"journal":{"name":"Scandinavian Journal of Public Health","volume":" ","pages":"195-206"},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2025-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142299561","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}

There has been immense interest in understanding the health risks related to climate change in the Arctic region. In this article, we review recent evidence related to climate change and its impacts on the health of the Arctic population.Methods: We summarize current evidence related to primary, secondary and tertiary health effects in the Arctic. We explore a broad range of effects on health including increased exposure to extreme weather, impacts from changes in water quality, air quality, contaminant exposure, food systems and patterns of infectious diseases. We also briefly discuss mental health effects in the Arctic. We conclude by examining further challenges and opportunities for research in this field and advocate the need for adaptation options in the Arctic.Results: We find that there is a large amount of literature that is focusing on the human health effects in the Arctic but there are still research gaps in terms of understanding these compared with those at lower latitudes. We point out the need for filling several of these knowledge gaps to project future health effects of climate change in the Arctic.Conclusions: \u0000 There is a need for integrated adaptation strategies in the Arctic that fully account for the health impacts and consider indigenous perspectives.\u0000 ","PeriodicalId":49568,"journal":{"name":"Scandinavian Journal of Public Health","volume":"53 2","pages":"207-214"},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2025-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143626500","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}
