Background And Aims: Register-based research suggests a shared pathophysiology between inflammatory bowel disease [IBD] and spondyloarthritis [SpA], but the role of familial [genetic and environmental] factors in this shared susceptibility is largely unknown. We aimed to compare the risk of SpA in first-degree relatives [FDRs] and spouses of IBD patients with FDRs and spouses of matched, population-based, reference individuals.
Methods: We identified 147 080 FDRs and 25 945 spouses of patients with incident IBD [N = 39 203] during 2006-2016, and 1 453 429 FDRs and 258 098 spouses of matched reference individuals [N = 390 490], by linking nationwide Swedish registers and gastrointestinal biopsy data.
Article Synopsis
- - The study investigated how the COVID-19 pandemic impacted the incidence of inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) in Israel and Sweden, two countries with different lockdown strategies.
- - Findings revealed that IBD incidence in Israel significantly decreased during the pandemic, while Sweden experienced a slight decrease initially followed by an increase, particularly among elderly-onset patients.
- - The research concluded that stricter lockdowns in Israel correlated with a greater reduction in IBD cases compared to Sweden, prompting a need for further research on the long-term effects of the pandemic on IBD.
Background: Swimming ability among children in the city of Malmö, Sweden is strongly affected by socioeconomic differences. We investigated to what extent mediating health and lifestyle factors, such as children's eating, sleeping and physical activity habits, as well as the characteristics of the social and working environment at both school and home, could explain the socioeconomic gradient in swimming ability.
Methods: Our study population included children who started their first-grade school-year in 2012 or 2013 at any of the public primary schools of Malmö, Sweden.

Introduction: Conduct disorder is a psychiatric diagnosis characterized by repetitive and persistent norm-breaking behavior. This study aimed to compare the risk of conduct disorder between first- and second-generation immigrant children and adolescents and their native controls.
Methods: In this nationwide, open-cohort study from Sweden, participants were born 1987-2010, aged 4-16 years at baseline, and were living in the country for at least one year during the follow-up period between 2001 and 2015.
Aims: Previous studies on major depressive disorder (MDD) among immigrants have reported mixed results. Using data from primary healthcare settings in Sweden, we compared the incidence of MDD among first- and second-generation immigrants aged 15-39 years with natives.
Methods: This was a retrospective nationwide open cohort study.
