Sexual violence in the workplace and associated health outcomes: a nationwide, cross-sectional analysis of women in Iceland.

Background: Workplace sexual violence against women is a pressing global issue with scarce knowledge on its health implications.

This study aimed to examine the associations between self-labelled workplace sexual violence and a variety of health outcomes in a nationally representative sample of Icelandic women aged 18-69 years.

Education as Risk Factor of Mild Cognitive Impairment: The Link to the Gut Microbiome.

Background: With differences apparent in the gut microbiome in mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and dementia, and risk factors of dementia linked to alterations of the gut microbiome, the question remains if gut microbiome characteristics may mediate associations of education with MCI.

Objectives: We sought to examine potential mediation of the association of education and MCI by gut microbiome diversity or composition.

Design: Cross-sectional study.

Key dimensions of women's and their partners' experiences of childbirth: A systematic review of reviews of qualitative studies.
