    Leisure activities are linked to mental health benefits by providing time structure: comparing employed, unemployed and homemakers

The current study aimed at testing whether compared with other employment groups, fewer leisure activities observed in unemployment may contribute to elevated risk for negative mental health via loss of time structure.

We examined whether young violent offenders were more likely antidepressant users prior to their first violent offence than other young persons.

We determined the excess risk of death associated with diabetes among patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) and non-STEMI (NSTEMI) after adjustment for comorbidity, risk factors and cardiovascular treatments.

    查看更多>>摘要:Background The association between periodontitis and atherosclerotic cardiovascular diseases (ACVD) has been established in some modestly sized studies (< 10 000). Rarely, however, periodontitis has been studied directly; often tooth loss or self-reported periodontitis has been used as a proxy measure for periodontitis. Our aim is to investigate the adjusted association between periodontitis and ACVD among all individuals registered in a large dental school in the Netherlands (Academic Centre for Dentistry Amsterdam (ACTA)).

This study aimed to assess the associations of childhood and adulthood socioeconomic position (SEP) and social mobility with cardiometabolic risk factors (CMRs) later in life. Methods We conducted follow-up examinations of 1132 offspring, aged 32, within a population-based cohort of all births in Jerusalem from 1974 to 1976. SEP was indicated by parents' occupation and education, and adulthood SEP was based on offspring's occupation and education recorded at age 32. Linear regression models were used to investigate the associations of SEP and social mobility with CMRs. Results Childhood-occupational SEP was negatively associated with body mass index (BMI; beta=-0.29, p= 0.031), fat percentage (fat%; beta=-0.58, p= 0.005), insulin (beta=-0.01, p= 0.031), triglycerides (beta=-0.02, p= 0.024) and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C; beta=-1.91, p= 0.015), independent of adulthood SEP. Adulthood-occupational SEP was negatively associated with waist-to-hip ratio (WHR; beta=-0.01, p= 0.002), and positively with high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C; beta= 0.87, p= 0.030). Results remained similar after adjustment for smoking and inactivity. Childhood-educational SEP was associated with decreased WHR and LDL-C level (p= 0.0002), and adulthood-educational SEP was inversely associated with BMI (p= 0.001), waist circumference (p= 0.008), WHR (p= 0.001) and fat% (p= 0.0002) and positively associated with HDL-C (p= 0.030). Additionally, social mobility (mainly upward) was shown to have adverse cardiometabolic outcomes. Conclusions Both childhood and adulthood SEP contribute independently to CMR. The match-mismatch hypothesis may explain the elevated CMRs among participants experiencing social mobility. Identification of life-course SEP-related aspects that translate into social inequality in cardiovascular risk may facilitate efforts for improving health and for reducing disparities in cardiovascular disease.
