Menstrual dysfunction and body weight dissatisfaction among Finnish young athletes and non-athletes.
2020
To determine the prevalence of menstrual dysfunction (MD; i.e. oligomenorrhea or amenorrhea) and attitudes towards body weight among athletes and non‐athletes, we studied a cohort of athletes and non‐athletes, in adolescence (14–16 years) and subsequently in young adulthood (18–20 years). We further studied the differences between athletes reporting MD and eumenorrheic athletes at both time periods and identified physical and behavioural characteristicsthat might predict MD in young adulthood. Data were collected using questionnaires, accelerometers, and a pre‐participation screening. In adolescence, the athletes reported current primary amenorrhea more often than the non‐athletes (4.7% vs.…
"Lehtemme on puolueeton, eikä harrasta politiikkaa" : suomalaisten puolueiden ja niiden poliitikkojen käsittely Uusi Maailma -lehdessä 1963-1979
2017
1960- ja 1970-luku olivat aikakauslehtimarkkinoilla kovan kilpailun aikaa. Ilmari Turjan luotsaama Uusi Kuvalehti oli joutunut taloudellisiin vaikeuksiin sillä seurauksella, että se myytiin Uuden Suomen lehtitalolle 1960-luvun alussa. Lehtitalo päätti ratkaista omistansa Naisten Maailma –lehden menekkiin liittyvät ongelmat yhdistämällä sen hankkimansa Uuden Kuvalehden kanssa. Seurauksena vuonna 1963 syntyi kokonaan uudenlainen aikakauslehti, joka nimettiin Uudeksi Maailmaksi. Monipuolisten sisältöjen avulla se pyrki houkuttelemaan lukijoita erilaisista viiteryhmistä. Lehti pyrki sopeutumaan alusta alkaen ajan politisoituneeseen ilmapiiriin. Ensimmäisessä numerossa päätoimittaja Jussi Talvi …
Maternal Parenting Styles and Glycemic Control in Children with Type 1 Diabetes
2019
The purpose of this study is to examine differences in parenting styles between mothers of children with type 1 diabetes and mothers of healthy children and to explore relationships between parenting styles and glycemic control of children with diabetes. Mothers of 63 children with diabetes and mothers of 83 children without diabetes reported their parenting styles using the Blocks&rsquo
Rising rural body-mass index is the main driver of the global obesity epidemic in adults.
2019
Body-mass index (BMI) has increased steadily in most countries in parallel with a rise in the proportion of the population who live in cities1,2. This has led to a widely reported view that urbanization is one of the most important drivers of the global rise in obesity3,4,5,6. Here we use 2,009 population-based studies, with measurements of height and weight in more than 112 million adults, to report national, regional and global trends in mean BMI segregated by place of residence (a rural or urban area) from 1985 to 2017. We show that, contrary to the dominant paradigm, more than 55% of the global rise in mean BMI from 1985 to 2017—and more than 80% in some low- and middle-income regions—w…
Changes in Daily Steps and Body Mass Index and Waist to Height Ratio during Four Year Follow-Up in Adults: Cardiovascular Risk in Young Finns Study
2017
Aims: Over the study years, there was a significant increase in body mass index (BMI) and waist-to-height ratio (WtHR) in middle aged Finnish adults. Methods: Data were obtained from 1033 Finnish adults from the Cardiovascular Risk in Young Finns Study in 2007 and 2011. Cohort study participants wore an Omron Walking Style One (HJ-152R-E) pedometer for five days and were grouped into those who increased, maintained and decreased their steps between 2007 and 2011. Paired samples t-test was used to compare body mass index (BMI) and waist-to-height ratio (WtHR) change values between the change groups in study years. Results: Among study population BMI and WtHR increase between study years was …
Birth weight and adult income : An examination of mediation through adult height and body mass
2021
This paper examines the causal links between early human endowments and socioeconomic outcomes in adulthood. We use a genotyped longitudinal survey (Cardiovascular Risk in Young Finns Study) that is linked to the administrative registers of Statistics Finland. We focus on the effect of birth weight on income via two anthropometric mediators: body mass index (BMI) and height in adulthood. We find that (i) the genetic instruments for birth weight, adult height, and adult BMI are statistically powerful; (ii) there is a robust total effect of birth weight on income for men but not for women; (iii) the total effect of birth weight on income for men is partly mediated via height but not via BMI; …
Continuity and changes in commuting mode and influence on physical activity, BMI and waist circumference among Finnish adults
2022
Regular physical activity (PA) has been found to be important for cardiovascular health and longevity. However, notable proportion of adult population does not meet the national PA recommendations. Active transport is one domain of physical activity, that could be a time-efficient way to increase PA and reach the national recommendations. Additionally, it could have a positive effect to body composition. nonPeerReviewed
