Risk and protective factors for (internet) gaming disorder: A meta-analysis of pre-COVID studies.
2023
This large-scale meta-analysis aimed to provide the most comprehensive synthesis to date of the available evidence from the pre-COVID period on risk and protective factors for (internet) gaming disorder (as defined in the DSM-5 or ICD-11) across all studied populations. The risk/protective factors included demographic characteristics, psychological, psychopathological, social, and gaming-related factors. In total, we have included 1586 effects from 253 different studies, summarizing data from 210557 participants. Apart from estimating these predictive associations and relevant moderating effects, we implemented state-of-the-art adjustments for publication bias, psychometric artifacts, and o…
Rare variant analyses across multiethnic cohorts identify novel genes for refractive error
2023
Refractive error, measured here as mean spherical equivalent (SER), is a complex eye condition caused by both genetic and environmental factors. Individuals with strong positive or negative values of SER require spectacles or other approaches for vision correction. Common genetic risk factors have been identified by genome-wide association studies (GWAS), but a great part of the refractive error heritability is still missing. Some of this heritability may be explained by rare variants (minor allele frequency [MAF] ≤ 0.01.). We performed multiple gene-based association tests of mean Spherical Equivalent with rare variants in exome array data from the Consortium for Refractive Error and Myopi…

The impact of wildlife and environmental factors on hantavirus infection in the host and its translation into human risk
2023
Identifying factors that drive infection dynamics in reservoir host populations is essential in understanding human risk from wildlife-originated zoonoses. We studied zoonotic Puumala orthohantavirus (PUUV) in the host, the bank vole ( Myodes glareolus ), populations in relation to the host population, rodent and predator community and environment-related factors and whether these processes are translated into human infection incidence. We used 5-year rodent trapping and bank vole PUUV serology data collected from 30 sites located in 24 municipalities in Finland. We found that PUUV seroprevalence in the host was negatively associated with the abundance of red foxes, but this process did no…

Cardiovascular benefits and potential hazards of physical exercise in elderly people
2004
66–85-vuotiaiden liikunnallisesti aktiivisten naisten suorituskyky sydämen ja verenkiertoelimistön kuntoa mittaavassa kuormituskokeessa oli keskimäärin 40 % parempi kuin vastaavanikäisten harjoittelemattomien naisten. 75-vuotiailla miehillä ja naisilla parempi kestävyyskunto ennusti pidempää ikää. 76–78-vuotiaiden naisten suorituskyky parani keskimäärin 4-9 % neljän kuukauden kestävyys- ja voimaharjoittelulla. Harjoittelemattomassa vertailuryhmässä suorituskyky laski 6 % vastaavassa ajassa. Suorituskyvyn muutokset vaihtelivat kuitenkin huomattavasti yksilöstä toiseen. Verenkiertoelimistöön liittyviä terveysongelmia esiintyi harjoitteluohjelman aikana, mutta ne eivät liittyneet suoraan fyysi…
Parenting styles of Finnish parents and their associations with parental burnout
2022
Abstract In the present study, we examined what kind of parenting style groups (defined by parental warmth, behavioral control, and psychological control) can be identified among contemporary Finnish mothers and fathers and how these parenting style groups are associated with parents’ symptoms of parental burnout. Gender differences in parenting style groups, and in their associations with parental burnout, were also investigated. The survey data were gathered from 1,471 Finnish parents (91.2% mothers). The results of k-means cluster analysis identified six different parenting style groups: authoritarian (13.5%), permissive (15.2%), psychologically controlling (19.4%), uninvolved (14.4%), c…
Obesity as a predictor of falls among older women
2012
In older people’s falls often lead to hospitalisation and lengthy recovery in health care institutions and this may be conducive to financial strain on health care systems. The propensity or risk of falling rises as the individual gets older and frailer. Fear of falling, previous history of falling, poor mobility, limitations in Activities of Daily Living (ADL), side effects of medications, hazardous environment, poor vision and hearing, poor postural balance and gaits impairment are among the frequent factors that give rise to falls amongst older people. However, studies focused on obesity as a risk factor for falls are rarer. The aim of this study was to find out whether obesity increases…
Sports injuries in Finnish elite cross-country skiers, swimmers, long-distance runners and soccer players
2011
In sports with different exercise-loading characteristics, acute and overuse injury profiles and gender differences in injuries were investigated. In addition, trainingrelated risk factors for overuse injuries in endurance athletes were studied. This twelve-month retrospective questionnaire study comprised Finnish elite crosscountry skiers (n=149), swimmers (n=154), long-distance runners (n=143) and soccer players (n=128) aged 15–35 years. Questionnaires were sent to the athletes in each sports at the end of the 2006 competition season. Athletes who ended their sports career because of injury were studied in more detail by means of a telephone interview (n=20) 7-11 months after the question…

Lukemisen erityisvaikeuksia eli kehityksellistä dysleksiaa on noin 3-10 prosentilla suomalaisista koululaisista. Vaikeudet haittaavat eri tavoin heidän koulusuoriutumistaan ja vaikuttavat näin myös tulevaisuuden urasuunnitelmiin.Tomi Guttorm on väitöskirjatyössään verrannut vastasyntyneiden riskiryhmään kuuluvien ja muiden vauvojen kielellistä prosessointia. Hän toteaa, että jo muutaman päivän iässä aivoista tehtyjen havaintojen perusteella voidaan ennustaa riskivauvojen heikompia kielellisiä taitoja. Tulokset aivovasteiden ennustearvosta ovat tutkijan mielestä rohkaisevia kielellisten pulmien varhaisen tunnistamisen sekä tuki- ja kuntoutustoimien suunnittelun kannalta. Event-related potent…
