Leisure-Time Physical Activity and All-Cause Mortality : A Systematic Review

2022

Many scientific studies have been shown the positive effect of physical activity (PA) on reducing morbidity and mortality, whereas physical inactivity is globally one of the leading factors in mortality. Therefore, the purpose was to investigate the relationship between leisure-time physical activity (LTPA) and all-cause mortality among adult population. The data search was performed of 3 electronic databases for the years 2000-2021 February as follows: Google Scholar, PubMed, and ResearchGate. This search was made by using the following terms and operators AND/OR, individually/combination: "physical activity", "physical fitness", "leisure-time physical activity", "all-cause mortality", "ri…

Mortality associations with DNA methylation-based biological aging and physical functioning measures across a 20-year follow-up period

2023

Background Measures of biological aging range from DNA methylation (DNAm)-based estimates to measures of physical abilities. The purpose of this study was to compare DNAm- and physical functioning-based measures of biological aging in predicting mortality. Methods We studied 63- to 76-year-old women (N = 395) from the Finnish Twin Study on Aging (FITSA). Participants’ biological age (epigenetic clocks DNAm GrimAge and DunedinPACE) was estimated using blood DNAm data. Tests of physical functioning conducted under standardized laboratory conditions included the Timed Up and Go (TUG) test and 10-m walk test. Mortality hazard ratios (HRs) were calculated per every one standard deviation (SD) in…

Does the epigenetic clock GrimAge predict mortality independent of genetic influences : an 18 year follow-up study in older female twin pairs

2021

Background: Epigenetic clocks are based on DNA methylation (DNAm). It has been suggested that these clocks are useable markers of biological aging and premature mortality. Because genetic factors explain variations in both epigenetic aging and mortality, this association could also be explained by shared genetic factors. We investigated the infuence of genetic and lifestyle factors (smoking, alcohol consumption, physical activity, chronic diseases, body mass index) and education on the association of accelerated epigenetic aging with mortality using a longitudinal twin design. Utilizing a publicly available online tool, we calculated the epigenetic age using two epigenetic clocks, Horvath D…

Humalaa hakemassa : korvikealkoholeihin kuolleet 1914-1921

2017

Pro gradu -tutkielmassa tarkastelen alkoholin korvikeaineisiin kuolleita Suomessa vuosien 1914 ja 1921 välillä. Alkoholin korvikkeina käytettiin alkoholipitoisia aineita, jotka olivat tarkoitettu hyötykäyttöön ja pyritty tekemään juomakelvottomiksi. Korvikekuolemia tutkin käyttäen lääkintöhallitukselle lähetettyjen ruumiinavausraporttien specis facti -osion tietojen pohjalta, ja ilmiöstä lehdistössä julkaistuja uutisia ja keskusteluja käyttäen. Aineistoa tutkin lähiluvun ja diskurssianalyysin menetelmiä käyttäen. Alkoholin saatavuus oli tiukasti rajoitettu Suomessa tiukasti ennen vuotta 1914, suuressa osassa Suomea sen myyntiä ei sallittu. Kesällä 1914 syttynyt sota johti lähes täydelliseen…

Depressive Symptoms and Mortality : Findings from Helsinki Birth Cohort Study

2023

Background Individuals with depression and depressive symptoms have a higher mortality rate than non-depressed individuals. The increased comorbidity and mortality associated with depression has remained largely unexplained. The underlying pathophysiological differences between depressive subtypes, melancholic and non-melancholic, may provide some explanation to this phenomenon. Methods 1995 participants (mean age 61 years) from the Helsinki Birth Cohort Study were recruited for this prospective study and followed up for a mean of 14.1 years. Information regarding medical history, lifestyle, and biochemical parameters were obtained. Depressive symptoms were assessed using the Beck Depressio…

Job strain among blue-collar and white-collar employees as a determinant of total mortality: a 28-year population-based follow-up.

2012

Objectives To investigate the effect of job demand, job control and job strain on total mortality among white-collar and blue-collar employees working in the public sector. Design 28-year prospective population-based follow-up. Setting Several municipals in Finland. Participants 5731 public sector employees from the Finnish Longitudinal Study on Municipal Employees Study aged 44–58 years at baseline. Outcomes Total mortality from 1981 to 2009 among individuals with complete data on job strain in midlife, categorised according to job demand and job control: high job strain (high job demands and low job control), active job (high job demand and high job control), passive job (low job demand a…
