One generation apart: Individual income and life expectancy in two Swedish cohorts born before and after the expansion of the welfare state
CONCLUSIONS: Compared with a period approach to life expectancy trends, the cohort approach highlights the stagnation of mortality at the lowest income groups for men and the rapid emergence of a mortality gradient for women. Future research on health inequalities in welfare states should consider underlying factors both from a cohort and period perspective.PMID:38627923 | DOI:10.1177/14034948241246433 (Source: Scandinavian Journal of Public Health)

Novel findings in a Swedish primary familial brain calcification cohort
Brain calcifications are frequent findings on imaging. In a small proportion of cases, these calcifications are associated with pathogenic gene variants, hence termed familial brain calcification (PFBC). The clinical penetrance is incomplete and phenotypic variability is substantial. This paper aims to characterize a Swedish PFBC cohort including 25 patients: 20 from seven families and five sporadic cases. (Source: Journal of the Neurological Sciences)

Meat consumption and the risk of hip fracture in women and men: two prospective Swedish cohort studies
ConclusionA modest linear association was found between a higher meat intake and the risk of hip fractures. Our results from the sub-cohorts further suggest that possible mechanisms linking meat intake and hip fracture risk may be related to the regulation of bone turnover, subclinical inflammation, and oxidative stress. Although estimates are modest, limiting red and processed meat intake in a healthy diet is advisable to prevent hip fractures. (Source: European Journal of Nutrition)

Outcomes after cancer diagnosis in children and adult patients with congenital heart disease in Sweden: a registry-based cohort study
Conclusions
Cancer-related deaths constituted 1.8% of all mortalities across all CHD patients. Among CHD patients with cancer, 18.3% died, with cancer being the cause in 71.9% of cases. Although CHD patients have an increased cancer risk, their mortality risk post-diagnosis does not significantly differ from non-CHD patients after adjustements and exclusion of patients with genetic syndromes and transplant recipients. However, CHD patients with genetic syndromes and concurrent cancer appear to be a vulnerable group. (Source: BMJ Open)

Self-reported exposure to dust and diesel exhaust, respiratory symptoms, and use of respiratory protective equipment among Arctic miners
This study explored the association between reported respiratory exposure and symptoms, and PPE training and usage. Data from the MineHealth study (2012-2014) included a total of 453 Arctic open pit miners in Norway, Sweden, and Finland. Participants answered questions on exposure to dust and diesel exhaust, respiratory symptoms, and PPE use, in addition to age, gender, BMI, smoking, and self-rated health. Estimated exposure to dust was common, reported by 91%, 80%, and 82% and that of diesel exhaust by 84%, 43%, and 47% of workers in Sweden, Finland, and Norway, respectively. Reported dust exposure was significantly relat...
