Association of accelerometer‐measured physical activity and midlife income : A Northern Finland Birth Cohort 1966 Study
2023
This study investigated the association between physical activity (PA) and midlife income. The population-based data comprised employed members of the Northern Finland Birth Cohort 1966 (N = 2797). Using binned scatterplots and polynomial regressions, we evaluated the association between accelerometer-measured moderate PA (MPA), vigorous PA (VPA), and moderate-to-vigorous PA (MVPA) at 46 years old and register-based income at 50 years old. The models were adjusted for sex, marital status, number of children, education, adolescent PA, occupational physical strenuousness, and time preference. We found MPA (p < 0.001), VPA (p < 0.05), and MVPA (p < 0.001) to associate curvilinearly with income…
Heijastuuko haitallinen terveyskäyttäytyminen tuloihin?
2017
Tässä pro gradu –tutkielmassa haluttiin selvittää, havaitaanko yksilöiden tulotasossa poikkeamia, jos heillä on yksi tai kaksi haitallisen terveyskäyttäytymisen muotoa verrattuna yksilöihin, joilla näitä ei ole. Empiirisessä analyysissä hyödynnettiin kansainvälisen International Social Survey Programme –vertailututkimusohjelman (ISSP) Suomen osa-aineistoa vuodelta 2011. Tarkastelun kohteena oli työikäinen aikuisväestö (n = 904), ja haitallisesta terveyskäyttäytymisestä mielenkiinnon kohteena oli runsas alkoholin kulutus, päivittäinen tupakointi, lihavuus sekä fyysinen passiivisuus. Sekä tulotaso (keskimääräiset kuukausibruttotulot kaikki ansio- ja pääomatulot sekä sosiaalietuudet mukaan lue…

Activated Carbon Production from Peat Using ZnCl2 : Characterization and Applications
2017
The process for producing activated carbon from peat was optimized. The peat was impregnated with different ratios of ZnCl2, and the impregnated biomass was activated at different temperatures. The specific surface area, pore size distribution, total carbon content, and yield of the activated carbon were investigated. The best results for the specific surface area and mesoporosity of the activated peat were obtained by using a high impregnation ratio (2) and high activation temperature (1073 K). Highly porous activated carbon was produced that had a specific surface area of approximately 1000 m2/g and total pore volume that was higher than 0.5 cm3/g for most samples. The activated carbon ha…
Miopijas veidošanās riska faktoru izvērtējums
2019
Bakalaura darbs ir uzrakstīts latviešu valodā uz 31 lapas, tas satur 12 attēlus, 3 tabulas, 1 pielikumu un 41 atsauci uz literatūras avotiem. Darba mērķis bija novērtēt tuvredzības veidošanās riskus jauniešiem un pieaugušajiem. Pētījumā piedalījās 219 dalībnieki vecumā no 16 līdz 62 gadiem, kas aizpildīja aptaujas anketas, kurās norādīja optiskās korekcijas izmantošanu, datus par refrakciju, acu traumām, slimībām, pēdējo redzes pārbaudes vizīti. Datus, kas attiecas uz šādiem riska faktoriem: tuvredzība vecākiem, ārā pavadītais laiks, mācībām veltītais laiks. Tika noskaidrots, ka tuvredzības etioloģija ir multifaktoriāla, tai ir saistība ar bērnībā āra pavadīto laiku un tuvuma darbu. Arī ied…

Leisure-time physical activity and DNA methylation age : a twin study
2019
Background: Epigenetic clocks may increase our understanding on human aging and how genetic and environmental factors regulate an individual aging process. One of the most promising clocks is Horvath’s DNA methylation (DNAm) age. Age acceleration, i.e., discrepancy between DNAm age and chronological age, tells us whether the person is biologically young or old compared to his/her chronological age. Several environmental and lifestyle factors have been shown to affect life span. We investigated genetic and environmental predictors of DNAm age in young and older monozygotic (MZ) and dizygotic (DZ) twins with a focus on leisure time physical activity. Results: Quantitative genetic modeling rev…
Samband mellan kronisk smärta och fysisk aktivitet bland äldre personer med typ 2-diabetes
2018
Forskningens bakgrund och syfte: Fysisk aktivitet är en central del i vården av typ 2-diabetes. Trots påvisade positiva effekter av regelbunden fysisk aktivitet verkar en liten andel diabetiker vara fysiskt aktiva. Smärta har i tidigare studier identifierats som ett hinder till fysisk aktivitet bland diabetiker och man har kunnat se samband mellan kronisk smärta och svårigheter att utföra fysisk aktivitet. Det finns dock endast ett fåtal studier som undersöker detta samband. Syftet med denna avhandling var att kartlägga förekomsten av kronisk smärta bland äldre personer med typ 2-diabetes och att undersöka sambandet mellan kronisk smärta och fysisk aktivitet. Forskningsmaterial och –metoder…

Perceived need to increase physical activity levels among adults at high risk of type 2 diabetes. A cross-sectional analysis within a community-based…
2012
Background. Increased physical activity is a cornerstone of type 2 diabetes prevention. The perception of a need to change is considered essential in behaviour change processes. However, the existing literature on individuals' perceived need to change health behaviour is limited. In order to improve understanding of diabetes prevention through increased physical activity levels (PAL), we assessed factors associated with perceiving a need to increase PAL among adults at high risk of diabetes. Methods. Opportunistic screening was used within a primary-care based lifestyle intervention covering 10 149 men and women at high risk of type 2 diabetes. Data were obtained at baseline visits. Th…
