Objective: We aimed to investigate the association of sociodemographic, clinical and functional characteristics with the volume of transitions and specific trajectories across living and care settings.
Methods: Using data from the Swedish National Study on Aging and Care in Kungsholmen study, we identified transitions across home (with or without social care), nursing homes, hospitals and postacute care facilities among 3021 adults aged 60+. Poisson and multistate models were used to investigate the association between sociodemographic, clinical and functional characteristics and both the overall volume and hazard ratios (HRs) of specific transitions.

Methods: Participants from the population-based SNAC-K study ( = 2418) were followed across 12 years. We formed 13 abbreviated clusters based on the identifiability and perceptual characteristics of the Sniffin' Sticks Test (SST) items, and pre-existing test versions.
Article Synopsis
- This study investigated the relationship between transportation noise and atrial fibrillation (AF) using data from 11 Nordic cohorts, totaling over 161,000 participants.
- Researchers found that higher road traffic noise exposure is linked to an increased risk of developing AF, particularly in women and overweight individuals.
- Aircraft noise also showed a potential association with AF risk, while railway noise did not appear to be related; overall, road and aircraft noise combined raised the risk significantly.
Objectives: This study aims to investigate the relationship between frailty and avoidable hospitalization risk, and the moderating role of sociodemographic, clinical, and care-related factors.
Design: Longitudinal population-based cohort study.
Setting And Participants: A total of 3168 community-dwelling individuals, aged ≥60 years, from the Swedish National study on Aging and Care in Kungsholmen (SNAC-K).
