Longitudinal leisure-time physical activity profiles throughout adulthood and related characteristics: a 36-year follow-up study of the older Finnish Twin Cohort
CONCLUSIONS: We found several longitudinal leisure-time physical activity profiles with unique changes in both sexes. Fewer profiles in females than in males remained or became low physically active during the 36-year follow-up. We observed that lower education, higher body mass index, and more smoking already in young adulthood were associated with low leisure-time physical activity profiles. However, the fact that several longitudinal profiles demonstrated a change in their physical activity behavior over time implies the potential for public health interventions to improve leisure-time physical activity levels.PMID:3867...

Survival of endodontically treated teeth in public dental service in Northern Finland: a practise-based register study
CONCLUSIONS: The 5-year survival rate of RCTs seems high. Extractions were more common among patients over 40 years of age and if the RCT was completed shortly after its initiation.PMID:38660831 | DOI:10.2340/aos.v83.40491 (Source: Acta Odontologica Scandinavica)

Long-term cumulative incidence of clinically diagnosed retinopathy in the Finnish Diabetes Prevention Study
CONCLUSION: A higher cumulative HbA1c was significantly associated with a higher risk of retinopathy. No evidence was found for a beneficial effect of a 4-year lifestyle intervention on the long-term occurrence of clinically diagnosed retinopathy during a median of 22-year follow-up.PMID:38661084 | DOI:10.1210/clinem/dgae287 (Source: The Journal of Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism)

Are dental care records in childhood associated with financial hardship in adulthood?
CONCLUSIONS: The association between childhood dental care records and adulthood financial hardship mainly reflects the fact that parental socioeconomic status links to dental records. Nevertheless, data from dental care could be used in targeting appropriate measures to prevent financial hardship later in life.PMID:38664862 | DOI:10.1177/14034948241245541 (Source: Scandinavian Journal of Public Health)

Perceived coaches' health promotion activity, maintenance of participation in sports, and lifestyle habits among emerging adults: a four-year follow-up study
CONCLUSIONS: Perceiving coaches' health promotion activity as frequent was related to maintained participation in organized sports among males. Maintainers were more likely to have more healthy lifestyle habits than nonparticipants and dropouts. There is a need to invest in coaches' health promotion activity when it is infrequent. A more detailed understanding is needed of coaches' health promotion activity that supports both maintained participation in sports, especially among females, and healthy lifestyle habits in emerging adulthood.PMID:38658832 | DOI:10.1080/07853890.2024.2321327 (Source: Annals of Medicine)
