  • Revisiting socio-economic inequalities in sedentary leisure time in Sweden : An intersectional analysis of individual heterogeneity and discriminatory accuracy (AIHDA)
  • 2023
  • Ingår i: Scandinavian Journal of Public Health. - : Sage Publications. - 1403-4948 .- 1651-1905. ; 51:4, s. 570-578
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • Aims: Swedish  public  health  reports  have  repeatedly  provided  information  about socio-economic  inequalities  in  sedentary  leisure time, despite that, in the interest of health equity, physical activity should be equally distributed in the population. Such public  health  reports,  however,  neither  consider  the  intersection  of  multiple  socio-demographic  factors  nor  the  individual  heterogeneity  around  group  averages. Drawing  on  intersectionality  theory,  this  study  aimed  to  revisit  previous  findings on  sedentary leisure time from Swedish public health surveys and demonstrate how the analysis of individual heterogeneity and discriminatory accuracy (AIHDA) can be used for analysing complex health inequalities.Methods: Using data from Swedish national public health surveys (2004–2015), we applied the AIHDA to define 72 intersectional groups by categories of age, gender, educational achievement, migration status and household composition. We then calculated (a) the absolute and relative risk of sedentary leisure time and (b) the discriminatory accuracy (DA) of the intersectional grouping.Results: The average risk  of  sedentary  leisure  time  ranged  from  5.8%  among native-born,  highly  educated,  young  women  living  alone  to  41.0%  among immigrated young men, living alone, with low education. The risk was higher in strata comprising immigrated people with low education and lower in strata including native-born, highly educated people. However, the DA of the grouping was poor, indicating a substantial overlap of individual risk between groups.Conclusions: Using the AIHDA and drawing on intersectionality, this study provides an improved mapping of the socio-economic distribution of sedentary leisure time in Sweden, with the poor DA suggesting universal rather than targeted physical activity interventions.

  • Occupational prestige and future sickness absence and disability pension in women and men: a Swedish nationwide prospective cohort study
  • 2024
  • Ingår i: Scandinavian Journal of Public Health. - 1403-4948 .- 1651-1905.
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • Background: little is known about associations between occupational prestige, that is, the symbolic evaluation and socialpositioning of occupations, and sickness absence (SA) or disability pension (DP). We explored whether occupational prestigewas associated with future SA or DP among women and men. Methods: A Swedish 4-year prospective cohort study of allthose in paid work and aged 25–59 in 2010 (N = 2,605,227; 47% women), using linked microdata from three nationwideregisters and Standard International Occupational Prestige Scale values, categorised as ‘very low’, ‘low’, ‘medium’, ‘high’,or ‘very high’. Odds ratios (Ors), 95% confidence intervals (CIs), crude and adjusted for several sociodemographic factors,were calculated for three outcomes: at least one SA spell (>14 days), >90 SA days, or DP occurrence, during follow-up(2011–2013). Results: The mean number of SA days in 2010 varied by occupational prestige group, for example, ‘very high’:3.0, ‘very low’: 6.5. Compared to those in occupations with ‘very high’ prestige, all other groups had higher adjusted Orsfor all three outcomes. Among men, those with ‘very low’ occupational prestige had the highest Or for at least one SA spell:Or 1.51 (95% CI 1.47–1.56); among women, the ‘medium’ group had the highest Or: 1.30 (1.27–1.32). The results weresimilar for SA >90 days. Or for DP among women with ‘very low’ occupational prestige was 2.01 (1.84–2.19), and 3.55(3.15–4.01) for men. Conclusions: Working in lower occupational prestige occupations was generally associatedwith higher odds of future SA/DP than working in higher prestige occupations; these associations were strongerfor men than for women.

  • Differences in self-rated health among older immigrants : A comparison between older Finland-Swedes and Finns in Sweden
  • 2010
  • Ingår i: Scandinavian Journal of Public Health. - : Sage Journals. - 1403-4948 .- 1651-1905. ; 38:1, s. 25-31
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • Aims: Research has shown a tendency among immigrants and ethnic minorities to have a lower health status compared with the majority population. This applies to Finnish immigrants in Sweden. This group, however, also consists of persons who belong to a small ethnic minority in Finland, the Finland-Swedes, who speak Swedish as their mother tongue. In Finland, this minority has been shown to have better health and longer lives than the majority of Finnish-speaking people. Most of the previous research has studied the objective health of immigrants and minorities, while less is known about their subjective health. The aim of this study was to describe and compare self-rated health in older Finland-Swedes and Finns living as immigrants in Sweden. Methods: The study was carried out as a sample-based cross-sectional study. Data was collected by a postal structured questionnaire. The response rate among the Finland-Swedes was 47% (n = 169) and among the Finns was 54% (n = 643). Data was analyzed descriptively and tested with Pearson’s chi-square test. Results: The results showed significant differences between the language groups in self-rated health, age of retirement and causes for retirement. The Finland-Swede immigrants rated their health as better than the Finnish-speaking ones. They had retired at an older age and less frequently because of health problems. Conclusions: The results indicate that there may be significant differences in health, at least in subjective health, between immigrant groups. Due to the low response rate, the results cannot be generalized.

  • The protective effects of Swedish COVID-19 pandemic strategies on adolescents' mental health : a longitudinal cohort study
  • 2024
  • Ingår i: Scandinavian Journal of Public Health. - : Sage Publications. - 1403-4948 .- 1651-1905. ; 52:3, s. 354-359
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • Aim: The aim of this study was to investigate a cohort of Swedish eighth graders' mental health and experiences during the COVID-19 pandemic.Methods: Participants were 157 eighth graders recruited in junior high schools during 2020 who completed a depression questionnaire and a survey about their psychosocial health in relation to the COVID-19 pandemic, alongside a follow-up assessment in 2021. Analyses were conducted using latent change score and cross-lagged models.Results: Participants' depressive symptoms did not substantially increase during the COVID-19 pandemic. The level of depressive symptoms in 2020 was significantly associated with participants' perceptions of the pandemic in 2020 and spring 2021. Participants with higher depression scores reported worse experiences of the pandemic.Conclusions: The stable level of depressive symptoms among this cohort of eighth graders suggested that keeping schools open during a nationwide lockdown could mitigate some mental health consequences. Adolescents in this study with higher self-assessed depressive symptoms were more likely to experience increased depression after 6 months and had worse experiences during the pandemic than others. This suggests that the pandemic may not immediately affect mental well-being, but those at risk may be affected over time.

  • The distribution of ‘‘sense of coherence’’ among Swedish adults : A quantitative cross-sectional population study
  • 2010
  • Ingår i: Scandinavian Journal of Public Health. - : SAGE Publications. - 1403-4948 .- 1651-1905. ; 38:1, s. 1-8
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • Background: Antonovskys concept of "sense of coherence (SOC) has been shown to be related to health. The aim of this study was to describe the distribution of SOC scores and their components in an adult Swedish population aged 20-80 years. Methods: A random sample of 910 individuals from Jonkoping, Sweden, aged 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70 and 80 years, of which 589 agreed to participate in an oral health examination. The participants answered Antonovskys 13-item version of "the life orientation questionnaire scale. The response to the items and the distribution of the three components of comprehensibility, manageability and meaningfulness were analyzed for different age groups and genders using mean values and standard deviations, Students t-test and ANOVA. Results: A total of 526 individuals, 263 men and 263 women, answered all 13 questions and constituted the final material for the study (response rate 89%). The individual SOC score increased with age. The 20 year olds had a statistically significantly lower SOC score compared with the other age groups and 55% of them had a low SOC (andlt;= 66 points) compared with 17% of the 80 year olds. Men in the 60 and 70 year age groups had a statistically significantly higher SOC score compared with women of the same age. Conclusions: The individual distribution of SOC varied with age and gender. Twenty year olds had a significantly lower SOC score compared with elderly age groups. Elderly men had a statistically significantly higher SOC score compared with women of the same age.

  • Antidepressant use in Sweden : an intersectional multilevel analysis of individual heterogeneity and discriminatory accuracy (MAIHDA)
  • 2021
  • Ingår i: Scandinavian Journal of Public Health. - : Sage Publications. - 1403-4948 .- 1651-1905. ; 50:3, s. 395-403
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • Introduction: Antidepressants are among the most commonly prescribed drugs in Sweden. However, we lack detailed knowledge on the socioeconomic and demographic distribution of antidepressant use in the population. To fill this gap, we performed an intersectional multilevel analysis of individual heterogeneity and discriminatory accuracy.Methods: Analysing all Swedish residents older than 10 years (n=8,190,990), we measured the absolute risk of antidepressant use across 144 intersectional strata defined by combinations of age, gender, income, country of birth and psychiatric diagnosis. We calculated the strata-specific absolute risk of antidepressant use in a series of multilevel logistic regression models. By means of the variance partitioning coefficient and the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve, we quantified the discriminatory accuracy of the intersectional contexts (i.e. strata) for discerning those who use antidepressants from those who do not.Results: The absolute risk of antidepressant use ranged between 0.93% and 24.78% among those without a psychiatric diagnosis, and between 21.41% and 77.56% among those with a psychiatric diagnosis. Both the variance partitioning coefficient of 41.88% and the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve of 0.81 were considerable.Conclusions: Besides overt psychiatric diagnoses, our study shows that antidepressant use is mainly conditioned by age, which might express the embodiment of socioeconomic conditions across the individual life course. Our analysis provides a detailed and highly discriminatory mapping of the heterogeneous distribution of antidepressant use in the Swedish population, which may be useful in public health management.

  • Reduction in pedometer-determined physical activity in the adult Danish population from 2007 to 2012
  • 2015
  • Ingår i: Scandinavian Journal of Public Health. - : SAGE Publications. - 1403-4948 .- 1651-1905. ; 43:5, s. 525-533
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • Aims: To examine the development in pedometer-determined physical activity from 2007-2008 to 2011-2012 in the adult Danish population. Methods: The study population comprised two random samples of 18-75-year-old individuals who took part in cross-sectional studies in 2007-2008 (n=224) and 2011-2012 (n=1515). Pedometer data (sealed Yamax SW 200) were obtained for seven consecutive days. Data for 1624 participants (48.2% men) were included in the analysis. An overall step-defined activity level was examined based on a graduated step index (sedentary, low active, somewhat active, active, highly active). The pedometer-determined outcomes were analysed using regression models. Results: A borderline significant decline (p=0.077) from 8788 to 8341 steps/day (-446 (95% confidence intervals -50, 943)) was found between 2007-2008 and 2011-2012. Furthermore, a 23.7% (95% confidence intervals -41.7%, -0.1%) lower overall step-defined activity level was observed in 2011-2012 compared to 2007-2008. These changes were primarily due to a reduced level of activity among women. The proportion of individuals taking 10,000 steps/day decreased non-significantly from 34.8% to 29.3%, whereas the proportion taking <5000 steps/day did not differ between survey periods. Conclusions: This nationally representative survey suggests an overall reduction in the physical activity level among Danish adults. The reduction was due to a shift in the population distribution from higher to lower levels of activity. If this shift is true, it is worrying from a public health perspective. Our study result needs, however, to be confirmed by other population studies.

  • Experience of violence and self-rated health : Do youths disclose their experiences when visiting a Youth Centre in Sweden
  • 2021
  • Ingår i: Scandinavian Journal of Public Health. - London : Sage Publications. - 1403-4948 .- 1651-1905. ; 49:3, s. 277-284
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • Background: Being exposed to violence is a global health problem, increasing the risk of suffering from ill health. The main aim of this study was to estimate the prevalence of emotional, physical and sexual violence victimisation and its association to self-rated health among youths. The second aim was to investigate whether the youths had disclosed to healthcare professionals at a Youth Centre or others about being exposed. Methods: The cross-sectional study includes data from a web survey of youths, aged 15–25 (n=500), collected in Sweden. Descriptive statistics and univariate analyses were used for the analyses. Results: In all, emotional, physical or sexual violence during their lifetime was reported by 43.2% and 22.8% of youths during the last year. In total, 88% of the respondents assessed their self-rated health as good, very good or excellent. Those who had been exposed to emotional, physical or sexual violence during their lifetime reported statistically significant lower self-rated health (fair and poor) than those who were not victimised. When healthcare professionals at the Youth Centre asked youths about exposure during their lifetime, one-fifth disclosed having been exposed. Conclusions: Youths who reported any type of violence during their lifetime showed lower self-rated health compared to those who were not exposed. Youth Centres have an important role in identifying youths who are exposed to violence and/or self-report their health as low. Still, only a minority of youths who have been exposed to violence told health professionals at a Youth Centre about it when asked. It is necessary to further investigate how the issues can be best addressed.

  • Health and sexual behavior among exchange students
  • 2016
  • Ingår i: Scandinavian Journal of Public Health. - : Sage Publications. - 1403-4948 .- 1651-1905. ; 44:7, s. 671-677
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • Aim: The objective was to describe the exchange students’ health and sexual behaviour associated with their exchange studies, and examine the extent to which they had received preventive efforts against human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)/sexually transmitted infection (STI) and safer sex before departure. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted based on a web survey with questions about sexual behaviour, self-esteem and psychological well-being. Data were analysed using descriptive and analytical statistics. Results: A total of 136 outgoing exchange students from a Swedish University participated. Most of the exchange students rated their health as good, had psychological well-being and rated their self-esteem as being high. Approximately half of the exchange students had sex with a new partner during the exchange semester, and 87% of them had sexually risky behaviour. More than half (61%) of the exchange students had received preventive efforts before departure. No statistically significant difference regarding preventive information was found between those who reported sexually risky behaviour and those who did not. The group that had sexually risky behaviour desired free condoms and access to clinics for sexual health. Conclusions: Exchange students rated their health as good, and the majority of them participated in information sessions that addressed preventive efforts on HIV/STI and safer sex before departure. Sexually risky behaviour during exchange studies was reported and highlights the need for more effective preventive measures; for example, a recollection of reading STI information.
