Physical activity may not be associated with long‐term risk of dementia and Alzheimer’s disease
2021
Background While it is well established that physical activity is associated with reduced risk of vascular and non‐vascular outcomes as well as mortality, evidence on the association between physical activity and dementia is inconsistent. We aimed to assess the associations of physical activity with the risk of dementia and Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Material and methods We analysed data on 2,394 apparently healthy men with good baseline cognitive function from the prospective population‐based Kuopio Ischaemic Heart Disease study. We assessed habits of physical activity at baseline using a 12‐month leisure‐time physical activity (LTPA) questionnaire. Using Cox regression, we calculated hazar…
Service provision and social cohesion in rural areas: interaction between commuting, mobility and the residential preferences in Latvia
2012
The main issue addressed in this study is interaction of development policy of agricultural and rural areas with the regional and cohesion policies. This paper is based on an empirical study of everyday commuting models and spatial practices of different social groups of rural people in Latvia. This article analyzes data from a survey “Place, capabilities, migration” conducted in 2011 with a total of 1009 respondents in Latvia. The theoretical basis of research is rooted in the mobility studies and sociological and geographical conceptualization of space and place. The main focus is on analysis of relationship between commuting, mobility and the placeattachment. What are the main reasons of…
Cardiorespiratory Fitness and the Risk of Serious Ventricular Arrhythmias: A Prospective Cohort Study.
2019
Cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) is an established risk factor for cardiovascular disease outcomes. However, the relationship of CRF with risk of ventricular arrhythmias (VAs) is unknown. We aimed to assess the prospective association of CRF with the risk of serious VAs. Cardiorespiratory fitness, as measured by maximal oxygen uptake, was assessed using a respiratory gas exchange analyzer in 2299 middle-aged men in the Kuopio Ischemic Heart Disease prospective cohort. We corrected for within-person variability in CRF levels using data from repeated measurements 11 years apart. During median follow-up of 25.3 years (interquartile range, 18.7-27.2 years), 73 serious VAs were recorded. The age-…
Long-term safety of nine systemic medications for psoriasis: A cohort study using the Spanish Registry of Adverse Events for Biological Therapy in De…
2020
Background: Registry studies broadly describing the safety of systemic drugs in psoriasis are needed. Objective: To describe the safety findings of the systemic drugs acitretin, adalimumab, apremilast, cyclosporine, etanercept, infliximab, methotrexate, secukinumab, and ustekinumab used for the treatment of moderate to severe psoriasis in patients included in the Spanish Registry of Adverse Events for Biological Therapy in Dermatological Diseases (BIOBADADERM) Registry. Methods: The incidence rate ratio (IRR) and adjusted IRR (including propensity scores) of identified adverse events for each drug, using methotrexate as reference, were determined by means of a prospective cohort. Results: O…
Pienten lasten vanhempien koherenssin tunne ja liikuntakäyttäytyminen : Hyvän kasvun avaimet -tutkimuksen tuloksia
2017
Vanhemmat kokevat pikkulapsivaiheen usein haastavana elämänvaiheena. Yksilölliset tekijät vaikuttavat siihen, miten erilaisiin elämäntilanteisiin suhtaudutaan. Aaron Antonovskyn (1987) salutogeeniseen teoriaan keskeisesti kuuluva koherenssin tunne kertoo ihmisen kyvystä käsitellä stressiä ja hyödyntää käytettävissä olevia voimavaroja. Tämän pro gradu –tutkielman tarkoituksena oli selvittää, millainen koherenssin tunne suomalaisilla pienten lasten vanhemmilla on, minkälaista vanhempien liikuntakäyttäytyminen on ja onko koherenssin tunteella yhteyttä vanhempien liikuntakäyttäytymiseen. Tutkimusaineistona käytettiin Turun yliopiston toteuttaman Hyvän kasvun avaimet -seurantatutkimuksen aineist…
Síntesis de biodiésel y caracterización de bebidas alcohólicas mediante técnicas de elevada resolución
2015
En esta Tesis Doctoral se describe el desarrollo de procedimientos de síntesis de biodiésel y caracterización de bebidas alcohólicas mediante técnicas analíticas de elevada resolución. La puesta a punto de los procedimientos de síntesis de biodiésel y sus estudios de caracterización se realizó en respuesta a la demanda de producción de biocombustibles basados en materias primas renovables y de bajo impacto ambiental que puedan reemplazar de manera efectiva al diésel convencional obtenido a partir de fuentes fósiles. Otro de los aspectos descritos en esta Tesis, y entroncando con una de las líneas actuales de investigación del grupo, es la caracterización de proteínas en diversos extractos v…
The early careers of the second generations: a double ethnic penalty?
2016
International audience; Young people from North African origin have greater difficulty in finding employment than their counterparts of French origin. And once they do manage to find employment, their jobs tend to be of lower quality. Thus they appear to suffer from a double penalty linked to their origins which, aggravated by the crisis, does not seem to abate over time.
Trait Self-Control, Social Cognition Constructs, and Intentions: Correlational Evidence for Mediation and Moderation Effects in Diverse Health Behavi…
2019
Background: We examined effects of trait self‐control, constructs from social cognition theories, and intentions on health behaviours. Trait self‐control was expected to predict health behaviour indirectly through theory constructs and intentions. Trait self‐control was also predicted to moderate the intention–behaviour relationship. Methods: Proposed effects were tested in six datasets for ten health‐related behaviours from studies adopting prospective designs. Participants (N = 3,249) completed measures of constructs from social cognition theories and self‐control at an initial time point and self‐reported their behaviour at follow‐up. Results: Results revealed indirect effects of self‐co…
An Examination of the Relationship Between Coaches’ Transformational Leadership and Athletes’ Personal and Group Characteristics in Elite Youth Soccer
2021
There is a growing body of the literature highlighting the positive impact of transformational leadership behaviours across contexts, including sport. However, there is a lack of knowledge of this relationship within elite sport settings. Thus, the purpose of the present study was to examine the relationship between elite youth athletes’ perceptions of coaches’ transformational coaching-behaviours and variables that have been linked to transformational leadership in other settings (i.e., group cohesion, motivational climate, self-regulation of learning and athlete satisfaction). Norwegian elite youth soccer players (n= 753) selected into the national talent development program completed que…
