The relation between economic stressors and higher education students' mental health during the initial outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic
CONCLUSIONS: We observed socioeconomic inequalities in students' mental health, which, in part, can be ascribed to a larger exposure to the economic stressors related to COVID-19 among students' with a low SES. The macroeconomic context also played a role, as the impact of a reduction in working hours on depressive symptoms was stronger in countries with poor economic conditions.PMID:38179954 | DOI:10.1177/14034948231185938 (Source: Scandinavian Journal of Public Health)

Incidence of atrial fibrillation and flutter in Denmark in relation to country of origin: a nationwide register-based study
CONCLUSIONS: Substantial variation in the incidence of hospital-diagnosed AF according to country of origin was observed. The results may reflect true biological differences but could also reflect barriers to AF diagnosis for immigrants. Further efforts are warranted to determine the underlying mechanisms.PMID:38179955 | DOI:10.1177/14034948231205822 (Source: Scandinavian Journal of Public Health)

A taste of ambrosia: Do Olympic medalists live longer than Olympic losers?
CONCLUSIONS: Disciplines classified as engaging mostly power were linked to shorter lifespans, whereas those involving predominantly skill were associated with longer life durations. The interaction of being a medalist and sport was found to be significant. Medalists in the disciplines of athletics, basketball, boxing, equestrian sports, wrestling, and water polo had significantly shorter lives (the final item was insignificant after correction for multiple comparisons). Olympic achievement was linked to length of life in mainly individual, not team, sports.PMID:38180004 | DOI:10.1177/14034948231219833 (Source: Scandinavia...

COVID-19 vaccination among health care workers in Finland: coverage, perceptions and attitudes
CONCLUSIONS: The overall COVID-19 vaccination coverage and support for vaccinations among HCWs working in close patient contact were high without actual mandatory policies being introduced. Prioritising HCWs for COVID-19 vaccinations and widespread vaccine availability, as well as low general vaccine hesitancy and high seasonal influenza vaccination coverage among the study population were check marks in achieving high COVID-19 vaccination coverage rapidly.PMID:38166531 | DOI:10.1177/14034948231203779 (Source: Scandinavian Journal of Public Health)

Preschool-level socio-economic deprivation in relation to emotional and behavioural problems among preschool children in Sweden
CONCLUSIONS: Swedish preschools may have a compensatory capacity in addressing children's emotional and behavioural problems, whereas preschool-level deprivation remained significantly associated with peer-relationship problems after controlling for individual-level socio-economic deprivation factors. This implies that peer-relationship problems in deprived preschools need to be addressed in a broader community context.PMID:38166546 | DOI:10.1177/14034948231218040 (Source: Scandinavian Journal of Public Health)

Trends in cervical cancer screening in Norway 2012-2017: a comparison study of non-immigrant and immigrant women
CONCLUSIONS: The gap in screening participation and the increasing differences in trends suggest that healthcare services do not reach all women in Norway to the same extent. One should attempt to improve this while working toward further increasing screening participation for all.PMID:38166571 | DOI:10.1177/14034948231217636 (Source: Scandinavian Journal of Public Health)
