- In Sweden, organized screening programs have significantly reduced the incidence of cervical cancer. For cancers overall, however, women with psychiatric diagnoses have lower survival rates than other women. This study explores whether women with psychiatric diagnoses participate in cervical cancer screening programs to a lesser extent than women on average, and whether there are disparities between psychiatric diagnostic groups based on grades of severity.Between 2000 and 2010, 65,292 women within screening ages of 23-60 had at least two ICD-10 (International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems - Tenth Revision) codes F20*-F40* registered at visits in primary care or psychiatric care in Region Västra Götaland, Sweden. Participation in the cervical cancer screening program during 2010-2014 was compared with the general female population using logistic regression adjusted for age.Relative risk for participation (RR) for women diagnosed within psychiatric specialist care RR was 0.94 compared with the general population, adjusted for age. RR for diagnoses outside specialist care was 0.99. RR for psychoses (F20*) was 0.81.Women with less-severe psychiatric diagnoses participate in the screening program to the same extent as women overall. Women who have received psychiatric specialist care participate to a lesser extent than women overall. The lowest participation rates were found among women diagnosed with psychoses.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- We examined whether personality traits, including optimism, ambivalence over emotional expressiveness, negative emotional expressiveness, and hostility, were associated with risk of developing type 2 diabetes (hereafter diabetes) among postmenopausal women.A total of 139,924 postmenopausal women without diabetes at baseline (between 1993 and 1998) aged 50 to 79 years from the Women's Health Initiative were prospectively followed for a mean of 14 (range 0.1-23) years. Multivariable Cox proportional hazards regression models were used to assess associations between personality traits and diabetes incidence adjusting for common demographic factors, health behaviors, and depressive symptoms. Personality traits were gathered at baseline using questionnaires. Diabetes during follow-up was assessed via self-report of physician-diagnosed treated diabetes.There were 19,240 cases of diabetes during follow-up. Compared with women in the lowest quartile of optimism (least optimistic), women in the highest quartile (most optimistic) had 12% (hazard ratio [HR], 0.88; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.84-0.92) lower risk of incident diabetes. Compared with women in the lowest quartile for negative emotional expressiveness or hostility, women in the highest quartile had 9% (HR, 1.09; 95% CI: 1.05-1.14) and 17% (HR, 1.17; 95% CI: 1.12-1.23) higher risk of diabetes, respectively. The association of hostility with risk of diabetes was stronger among nonobese than obese women.Low optimism and high NEE and hostility were associated with increased risk of incident diabetes among postmenopausal women independent of major health behaviors and depressive symptoms. In addition to efforts to promote healthy behaviors, women's personality traits should be considered to guide clinical or programmatic intervention strategies in diabetes prevention.

Personality traits and the risk of coronary heart disease or stroke in women with diabetes - an epidemiological study based on the Women's Health Initiative.

- We studied the associations between personality traits and the risk of coronary heart disease (CHD) or stroke in women with diabetes.From the Women's Health Initiative, 15,029 women aged 50 to 79 years at enrollment and with self-reported treated diabetes at baseline or follow-up, were followed for a mean of 10 years. Personality traits measured from validated scales included hostility, optimism, ambivalence over emotional expressiveness, and negative emotional expressiveness. Multivariable Cox proportional-hazards regression models were used to examine associations between personality traits and the risk of adjudicated CHD (nonfatal myocardial infarction and CHD death) or stroke outcomes. Progressively adjusted regression approach was used in the multivariable models to adjust for demographics, depression, anthropometric variables, and lifestyle factors.A total of 1,118 incident CHD and 710 incident stroke cases were observed. Women in the highest quartile of hostility had 22% (hazard ratio [HR] 1.22, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.01-1.48) increased risk for CHD compared with women in the lowest quartile of hostility. P values for trend were greater than 0.05. Stratified analysis by prevalent or incident diabetes showed that the highest quartile of hostility had 34% increased risk for CHD (HR 1.34, 95% CI 1.03-1.74) among women with incident diabetes. Other personality traits were not significantly associated with stroke or CHD.Hostility was associated with incidence of CHD among postmenopausal women with diabetes, especially among incident diabetes. These results provide a basis for targeted prevention programs for women with a high level of hostility and diabetes.

Kan Hälsostöd främja en positiv utveckling av psykisk hälsa och hälsolitteracitet hos asylsökande och nyanlända? Utvärdering av effekter och processer
- 2019
-
Rapport (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Sedan 2015 har Sveriges Kommuner och Landsting (SKL) genomfört ett omfattande arbete för att identifiera, sprida och stötta implementeringen av metoder som kan stödja en positiv hälsoutveckling hos asylsökande och nyanlända. I Västra Götalandsregionen (VGR) har HiS spridits utifrån beslut i Hälso-och sjukvårdsstyrelsen september 2016. Som en del av HiS-programmet ges Hälsoinformation vid ett tillfälle och Hälsostödets vid fem gruppträffar. Hälsoinformationen omfattar främst information om det svenska hälso- och sjukvårdssystemet, medan Hälsostödet har ett mer långtgående syfte i att förstärka en positiv utveckling av den psykiska hälsan genom öka begripligheten över den situation gruppdeltagarna befinner sig i, ge dem redskap att i vardagen hantera vissa svårigheter samt också få kunskap om hjälp som finns att få. Föreliggande utvärderings specifika mål har varit (a) att utvärdera effekter på psykisk hälsa och hälsolitteracitet före-och-efter deltagande i HiS-programmets Hälsostöd, samt (b) att utvärdera deltagarnas egen upplevelse av Hälsoinformationens och Hälsostödets genomförande och godtagbarhet. Effektutvärderingen visar på en positiv association mellan deltagande i Hälsostöd och förbättring av nyanländas psykiska hälsa och hälsolitteracitet. Processutvärderingen indikerar att denna kan öka ytterligare efter förbättringar i genomförande. Utvärderingens slutsats är därför att: • satsningen på Hälsostöd fortsätter då den kan anses vara positiv både på individ- och samhällsnivå, för mottagande och integration av asylsökande och nyanlända. Specifikt kan Hälsostöd erbjudas som en dokumenterat fungerande åtgärd för att främja nyanländas psykiska hälsa och hälsolitteracitet. • man överväger om gruppen asylsökande ska erbjudas mer eller annan hjälp. Innehållet och deltagandet i Hälsostöd kan enligt föreliggande utvärdering inte fullt ut hjälpa personer i den mycket påfrestande och utdragna asylprocessen. • åtgärder vidtas för att klargöra prioriteringar mellan uppdragets målsättningar och medel för att nå dessa. • ökade resurser och fokus läggs på att stärka stödjande kultur med syfte att öka projektets effektivitet liksom att motverka hälsorisker för teamledare och Hälsokommunikatörer.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Objective To investigate the prevalence of general and abdominal obesity and associated factors in Bouyei and Han peoples. A cross-sectional study was carried out in Guizhou province, southwest China in 2012, with multi-stage sampling to enroll 4551 participants aged 20 to 80 years. General and abdominal obesity were defined by World Health Organization (WHO) for Chinese. A design-based analysis was performed to evaluate prevalence of obesity and its related factors. Bouyei people had a significantly lower prevalence of general obesity (4.8% vs. 10.9%, p < 0.05) and abdominal obesity (13.6% vs. 26.8%, p < 0.05) than that in Han people. Prevalence of obesity increased with age until middle-age period and declined thereafter. Men aged 40-49 years group and women aged 50-59 years group have the highest prevalence of general obesity. Prevalence of abdominal obesity was higher than that of general obesity. Middle-age, Higher income, Han people were significantly associated with an increased risk of General/abdominal obesity. Bouyei people had a lower prevalence of general and abdominal obesity than the Han people. Etiological studies should be conducted to determine underlying genetic factors and dietary factors.
