Methods Participants were 479 054 individuals from UK Biobank. The exposures self-reported loneliness. AMI, outcomes. Results Over 7.1 years, 5731 had first 3471 stroke. In model adjusted for...
BackgroundInfections have been hypothesised to increase the risk of dementia. Existing studies included a narrow range infectious diseases, relied on short follow-up periods, and provided little evidence for whether increased is limited specific dementia subtypes or attributable microbes rather than infection burden. We aimed compare Alzheimer's disease other dementias across wide hospital-treated bacterial viral infections in two large cohorts with long periods.MethodsIn this large,...
Although loneliness and social isolation have been linked to an increased risk of non-communicable diseases such as cardiovascular disease dementia, their association with the severe infection is uncertain.

To explore how organizational justice evaluations affect the occupational stress process, authors formulated and tested following 2 hypotheses: (a) The effect of job control on strain is mediated by evaluations, (b) moderate strain. results structural equation modeling, based data collected from 688 employees, suggest that affects through evaluations. Thus, this study supported 1st hypothesis provided evidence perceptions organization are potential factors contributing to employee health.
A short 14‐item version of the Team Climate Inventory (TCI; Anderson & West, 1994) was developed and tested by using two Finnish samples social health care personnel ( N = 1494 771). The results LISREL other analyses provided evidence four‐factor structure form, as well internal homogeneity, reliability normality its scales across samples. Compared to original TCI, an acceptable item coverage predictive validity shortened demonstrated.
