Previous cross-sectional studies have found substantial genetic influences on individual variation in subjective well-being (SWB), and evidence for sex-specific effects has been reported. However, the environmental stability change SWB over time are largely unexplored.Questionnaire data from a population-based sample of Norwegian twins born 1967 to 1979, initially surveyed 1992 (T1) re-surveyed 1998 (T2), were analysed using structural equation modelling explore relative phenotypic...
Results from previous studies examining the dimensionality and factorial invariance of Satisfaction with Life Scale (SWLS) are inconsistent often based on small samples. This study examines structure SWLS in a Norwegian sample.Confirmatory factor analysis (AMOS) was conducted to explore test for measurement structure, loadings, intercepts, residual variance across gender four age groups large (N = 4,984), nationally representative sample men women (15-79 years).The data supported modified...
The association between overall life satisfaction (LS) and relationship (RS) was investigated longitudinally among mothers (N=67,355), using data from the Norwegian Mother Child Cohort Study (MoBa), conducted by Institute of Public Health. Data were collected twice during pregnancy, at 6 36 months postpartum. Satisfaction increased with RS decreasing immediately following birth LS showing an initial increase followed a decrease results showed that levels quite stable over time (.46-.75), as...
Human wellbeing is influenced by personality traits, in particular neuroticism and extraversion. Little known about which facets that drive these associations, the role of genes environments. Our aim was to identify are important for life satisfaction, estimate contribution genetic environmental factors association between satisfaction. Norwegian twins (N = 1,516, age 50-65, response rate 71%) responded a instrument (NEO-PI-R) Satisfaction With Life Scale (SWLS). Regression analyses...
There are concerns that lockdown measures taken during the current COVID-19 pandemic lead to a rise in loneliness, especially vulnerable groups. We explore trends loneliness before and differences across population subgroups.Data were collected via online questionnaires June 2020 four eight months prior two Norwegian counties (N=10,740; 54% women; age 19-92 years). Baseline data come from Counties Public Health Survey (participation rate 46%, of which 59% took part follow-up study).Overall...
Left heart catheterization carries a risk for cerebral complications. The aims of this prospective study were to determine the frequency and composition catheterization-related microemboli detect morphological changes acute cognitive impairment due catheterization.Forty-seven unselected patients undergoing elective left catheterization, either by transradial or transfemoral access, monitored using multifrequency transcranial Doppler. Cerebral magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) with...
As the pandemic continues, many older adults are facing prolonged isolation and stress while having less access to traditional ways of coping. There is widespread concern that situation increasingly taking its toll on adults' psychological social well-being. We use linear mixed models examine psychosocial impacts predictors thereof among Norwegians in early later stages pandemic. Longitudinal data were collected online Norwegian Counties Public Health Survey right before June...
Few studies have assessed the multifactorial nature of environmental influences on population mental health. In this large-scale, population-based study adults, we applied network analysis to relationship between factors and symptoms depression, anxiety, well-being. We estimated networks with overall health nodes individual assess both broad fine-grained associations Finally, conducted an out-of-sample replication in independent large-scale sample robustness our results. Across 31,000 adults...
The aim of this study was to examine associations between selected physical functional limitations related performing daily activities and psychological distress. We also aimed investigate if these vary across age (moderation), explore pain, sense mastery social support as potential moderators mediators. based on pooled data from two rounds (2008 2012) a Norwegian nationally representative cross-sectional health survey (N = 8520) including individuals aged ≥ 16 years (Age groups 16–44 45...
Surveys are essential tools in mental health research and policy making, but dishonest responses can undermine their reliability. This study examined what factors linked to survey among adolescents by analyzing data from 176,966 Norwegian teenagers. Using advanced machine learning techniques, researchers achieved a high sensitivity specificity of 79.9% with an area under the curve 87.3% classifying self-reported responders. The analysis revealed eight key related responding: perceived...

Research on mental health has traditionally separated the study of illbeing—disorder and problems—and wellbeing—life satisfaction positive affect. While previous reviews studies primarily employing self-report scales indicate that illbeing wellbeing are distinct yet interconnected constructs, a deeper examination their relationship is lacking. This perspective article from PROMENTA Center offers review synthesis findings joint nature across multiple levels analysis. Adopting an...
This study explores the stability and change in maternal life satisfaction psychological distress following birth of a child with congenital anomaly using 5 assessments from Norwegian Mother Child Cohort Study collected Pregnancy Week 17 to 36 months postpartum. Participating mothers were divided into those having infants (a) Down syndrome (DS; n = 114), (b) cleft lip/palate (CLP; 179), (c) no disability (ND; 99,122). Responses on Satisfaction With Life Scale short version Hopkins Symptom...
Abstract Psychological resilience is indicated when individuals demonstrate good mental health despite exposure to significant stress or adversity. Good may involve low levels of illbeing and/or high wellbeing. There still very limited knowledge about the potential differences between these outcomes in relation stressors. We propose a distinction type 1 and 2 resilience, examine their underlying genetic environmental architecture, identify modifiable factors. The data come from...
