Emotional eating (i.e. in response to negative emotions) has been suggested be one mechanism linking depression and subsequent development of obesity. However, studies have rarely examined this mediation effect a prospective setting its dependence on other factors linked stress management. We used population-based cohort adults aimed examine 1) whether emotional mediated the associations between 7-year change body mass index (BMI) waist circumference (WC), 2) gender, age, night sleep...

Fish contains high concentrations of omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids. Several studies have reported depletions fats among depressed patients, and a cross-national comparison has revealed significant inverse correlation between annual prevalence major depression fish consumption. In sample 3,204 Finnish adults, depressive symptoms were estimated with the Beck Depression Inventory. A frequency question was used to measure Multiple logistic regression analysis conducted assess association...

Abstract Objective A low socio-economic status (SES) is related to less healthy dietary habits, but the reasons for this remain unclear. We examined whether absolute or relative importance of various food choice motives contributed SES disparities in vegetable/fruit and energy-dense intake. Design analysed cross-sectional data from FINRISK Study 2007 by means structural equation modelling used a shortened version Food Choice Questionnaire assess health, pleasure, convenience, price,...

Designing evidence-based interventions to address socioeconomic disparities in health and behaviours requires a better understanding of the specific explanatory mechanisms. We aimed investigate comprehensive range potential theoretical mediators physical activity (PA) screen time different status (SES) groups: high SES group school students, low vocational students. The COM-B system, including Theoretical Domains Framework (TDF), was used as heuristic framework synthesise determinants this...

Physical activity (PA) has been shown to decline during adolescence, and those with lower education have levels of already at this age, calling for targeted efforts them. No previous study demonstrated lasting effects school-based PA interventions among older adolescents. Furthermore, these rarely sedentary behaviour (SB) despite its relevance health. The Let's Move It trial aims evaluate the effectiveness cost-effectiveness a school-based, multi-level intervention, on SB, vocational school...

The aim of this study was to increase understanding the associations between different dimensions morningness–eveningness, depressive symptoms, and emotional eating in general population. participants were 25-to-74-year-old Finnish men (n = 2325) women 2699) from National FINRISK Study conducted 2007.

To examine in a prospective setting whether different hostility measures, including Cynical Distrust, Trait Anger, Anger Out, In, and Control, are related to cardiovascular disease (CVD) ischemic heart (IHD).Participants comprised 25- 74-year-old men (n = 3850) women 4083), followed up for 10 15 years. Control were assessed with the Spielberger State-Trait Expression Inventory Hostility Distrust Scale. Incident CVD IHD derived from hospital records/death certificates. Subjects history of or...

Background: Measurement of social cognitive variables is often restricted to long‐term and health‐related outcomes. A more comprehensive measurement determinants would enable evidence‐based design health behavior interventions with a focus on the most relevant targets. The purpose this study was examine relative impact different fruit vegetable ( FV ) fast food consumption. Methods: Finnish male conscripts N = 855, age M 20) filled in questionnaires factors when entering military service,...

Purpose The purpose of this study is to investigate the role motivation for knowledge sharing (KS) by assessing how four qualitatively different types, as per self-determination theory (SDT), predict KS, its quality and undesirable counterpart, withholding. Design/methodology/approach was carried out a survey ( n = 200) in an expert organization. analyses were conducted using structural equation modeling. Findings Autonomous type extrinsic (identified motivation) strongest predictor KS (in...

Most adults do not engage in sufficient physical activity to maintain good health. Smartphone apps are increasingly used support but typically focus on tracking behaviors with no for the complex process of behavior change. Tracking features all users, and could better reach their targets by engaging users reflecting reasons, capabilities, opportunities Motivational interviewing supports this active engagement self-reflection self-regulation fostering psychological needs proposed...

Predictive genetic testing for cancer allows identification of those with the mutation (mutation positive) who should undergo surveillance aiming at early detection and without negative), whose unnecessary worry can be alleviated need not frequent surveillance. However, there is a risk that predictive might have harmful emotional impact on an individual. In course protocol, we assessed general anxiety (by State-Trait Anxiety Inventory [STAI]), fear death, satisfaction life attitude to future...

The purpose of this 16-year prospective follow-up study was to investigate the association between parental divorce in childhood and intimate relationship quality adulthood. mediating role psychosocial resources (parent-child relationships at 16 years, self-esteem social support 32 years) also studied. All year olds one Finnish city completed questionnaires school were followed up by postal years age (n = 1,471). Results showed that women men from divorced families more often or separated...

Abstract The mechanisms through which genes influence body weight are not well understood, but appetite has been implicated as one mediating pathway. Here we use data from two independent population-based Finnish cohorts (4632 adults aged 25–74 years the DILGOM study and 1231 twin individuals 21–26 FinnTwin12 study) to investigate whether appetitive traits mediate associations between known obesity-related genetic variants adiposity. results structural equation modelling indicate that...

This study tested the predictive validity of a multitheory process model in which effect autonomous motivation from self-determination theory on physical activity participation is mediated by adoption self-regulatory techniques based control theory. Finnish adolescents (N = 411, aged 17-19) completed prospective survey including validated measures predictors and activity, at baseline after one month 177). A subsample used an accelerometer to objectively measure further validate self-report...

No school-based physical activity (PA) interventions among older adolescents have demonstrated long-term effectiveness, and few of them so far addressed sedentary behaviour (SB). Based on behavioural theories evidence, we designed a multi-level intervention to increase PA decrease SB vocational school students. This study investigates feasibility acceptability two main components research procedures. We also examine uptake change techniques (BCTs) by the participants. Design was an outcome...
