Abstract Background High job demands, low control, and their combination (job strain) may increase workers' risk of depression. Previous research is limited by small populations, not controlling for previous depression, relying on the same informant reporting exposure outcome. This study aims to examine relationship between objectively measured workplace factors developing clinical depression among Swedish working population while psychiatric diagnoses sociodemographic factors. Methods...
Current knowledge on cannabis use in relation to stroke is based almost exclusively clinical reports. By using a population-based cohort, we aimed find out whether there was an association between and early-onset stroke, when accounting for the of tobacco alcohol.
The incidence of major depression among adults has been shown to be socially differentiated, and there are reasons seek explanations for this before adulthood. In cohort study, we examined whether academic performance in adolescence predicts adulthood, the extent which externalizing disorders explain association. We followed 26,766 Swedish women men born 1967–1982 from last year compulsory school, at age about 16, up 48 years age. investigated association between grade point average (GPA,...
Objective Academic performance in youth, measured by grade point average ( GPA ), predicts suicide attempt, but the mechanisms are not known. It has been suggested that general intelligence might underlie association. Methods We followed 26 315 Swedish girls and boys population‐representative cohorts, up to maximum 46 years of age, for first attempt hospital records. Associations between at age 16, IQ school 13 were investigated Cox regressions mediation analyses. Results There was a clear...
Although unemployment may be a stressful life event, its association with coronary heart disease (CHD) remains unclear. This study examines the between and later hospitalisation due to CHD.The was based on Swedish military conscription cohort of 18 20-year-old men from 1969/1970 (n=49 321) information provided health status behaviours. Information in middle age obtained national registers. CHD hospital registers cause death register. Cox proportional hazard analyses were run 39 243...
Background: Cognitive and socio-emotional abilities are powerful predictors of death disease as well social economic outcomes. Education is societies' main way promoting these abilities, ideally so that inequalities by socioeconomic background reduced. However, the extent to which education serves cognitive, social-emotional equality objectives relatively unknown intensively debated. Drawing on a Swedish school reform was explicitly designed massive quasi-experiment, we assessed differential...
The association between blood pressure measured in late adolescence and early incidence of coronary heart disease stroke was investigated Swedish men. We used measures systolic pressure, diastolic mean arterial pulse pressure.Information on at age 18-20 obtained from a cohort 49,321 men born 1949-1951 examined conscription 1969/1970. Information disease, acute myocardial infarction, during 1971-2004 national hospital discharge cause death registers. Associations outcomes were estimated with...
The association between level of education and disability pension (DP) is well known. Earlier studies have investigated the importance early life factors work characteristics but not in combination. aim this study was to investigate DP among Swedish middle-aged working men what extent such an can be explained by measured late adolescence adulthood.Information about IQ, health-related lifestyle factors, psychiatric musculoskeletal diagnoses obtained from 1969 conscription cohort, consisting...
Rates of disability pension are greatly increased among people with low education. This study examines the extent to which associations between education and pensions might be explained by differences in working conditions. Information on individuals at age 13 years was used assess confounding associations.Two nationally representative samples men women born 1948 1953 Sweden (22 889 participants total) were linked information from social insurance records cause (musculoskeletal, psychiatric,...
To examine associations between cannabis use in adolescence (at age 18) and unemployment social welfare assistance adulthood 40) among Swedish men.
The study investigates the association between level of long-term physical workload in middle age and disability pension (DP) before 61 years with adjustments made for early life factors, education, psychosocial working conditions. Associations DP overall, due to musculoskeletal disorders psychiatric were examined.The is based on cohorts 21,809 Swedish men women born 1948 1953, data estimated a job exposure matrix occupational titles 1985 1990 follow-up diagnosis-specific 1991-2009. Data...
Abstract Objectives The aim of the study was to examine associations between heavy physical workload among middle-aged and older workers disability pension due any diagnosis, as well musculoskeletal, psychiatric, cardiovascular or respiratory diagnoses. population-based design made it possible dose–response potential gender differences in associations. Methods About 1.8 million men women aged 44–63 years registered living Sweden 2005 were followed regarding during 2006–2016, until ages 55–65...
Abstract Objective Within the scope of Exposome Project for Health and Occupational Research on applying exposome concept to working life health, we aimed provide a broad overview status knowledge occupational exposures associated health effects across multiple noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) help inform research priorities. Methods We conducted narrative review risk factors that can be considered have “consistent evidence an association,” or where there is “limited/inadequate association” 6...
Abstract Purpose To assess the risk of disability and early-age retirement associated with previous long-term sickness absence for back pain (back-pain SA), exposure to high physical workload, low job control, demands strain, evaluate effect modification by work factors on relationship between back-pain SA premature retirement. Methods All employed Swedish residents born 1946–1955 ( n = 835,956) were followed up from 2010 2016 (DP) pension (EAP). Associations in 3 years before follow-up...
Abstract Person-related work requires interaction with individuals not employed at the workplace, such as clients and patients, can result in emotional labour, demands, confrontation. These stressors may increase workers’ risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD), including coronary heart (CHD) stroke, whereas colleagues’ support help buffer their impact. We aimed to examine association between person-related CVD, effect modification social work. The study included around two million CVD-free...
<h3>Background:</h3> Being male constitutes a risk factor for early death, and this may be connected to concepts of masculinity.

Methods Job control were measured separately for men women using a exposure matrix, which was linked to around three million individuals based on occupational title 2005.

An association of higher body mass index (BMI) with lower risk attempted and completed suicide has been reported. In contrast, increasing BMI found to be associated depression other factors for suicidal behavior. We aimed investigate this possible paradox in a cohort comprising 49 000 Swedish men.
