Aims: To study differences in cardiovascular prevention and hypertension management in primary care in men and women, with comparisons between public and privately operated primary health care (PHC).
Methods: We used register data from Region Stockholm on collected prescribed medication and registered diagnoses, to identify patients aged 30 years and above with hypertension. Age-adjusted logistic regression was used to calculate odds ratios (ORs) with 99% confidence intervals (99% CIs) using public PHC centers as referents.
Aim: The aim of this study was to evaluate district nurses' perceived and factual knowledge about nutritional care after an updated and expanded educational intervention. Furthermore, we aimed to compare the outcomes of the revised and the original educational intervention.
Background: In-depth knowledge of nutritional care is a prerequisite to supporting older adults' well-being and health.
Article Synopsis
- The study is investigating the effectiveness of structured health interventions in preventing type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease specifically in low socioeconomic populations, as previous trials have shown mixed results in the general population.
- The research will involve 3,000 participants aged 50-59 from 30 primary care centers in Stockholm, comparing systematic health dialogues to more casual opportunistic screenings.
- Key outcomes include changes in systolic blood pressure, other biological risk factors, and lifestyle habits measured at 6 and 12 months, alongside long-term effects tracked through national registries.
Person, Population, Mechanism. A Rejoinder to Critics and an Elaboration of the Three-Branch Model.

May 2024
In a previous paper (Lundh, 2023), it was argued that psychological science can be seen as having three main branches, corresponding to three levels of research: research at the person level, at the population level, and at the mechanism level. The purpose of the present paper is to discuss the critique that has been raised against this model by Lamiell (2024) and Nilsson (2024) and to elaborate and specify the three-branch model in more detail. This is done by an incorporation of Nilsson's concept of person-sensitivity into the model, and by a clearer differentiation between the two contrasts involved: (1) the focus either on individual persons or on populations of individuals; and (2) the focus either on whole-person functioning or on sub-personal mechanisms.
