Change in Cardiorespiratory Fitness and the Risk of Colorectal and Prostate Cancer Incidence in Men.

Introduction: The aim of this prospective cohort study was to investigate the associations between changes in cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) and the risk of colorectal and prostate cancer in men.

Methods: Data from men who completed a health assessment both in military conscription in youth and an occupational health profile assessment (HPA) later in life were used. CRF was assessed as estimated V̇O, using a cycle ergometer fitness test at both time points.

A Novel Type of Autosomal Dominant Episodic Nystagmus Segregating with a Variant in the FRMD5 Gene.

To describe the phenotype of a novel form of autosomal dominant episodic nystagmus and to identify the potential genetic aetiology. We identified several individuals in a large Swedish family affected by episodic nystagmus. In total, 39 family members from five generations were invited to participate in the study, of which 17 were included (12 affected and 5 unaffected).

Change in Cardiorespiratory Fitness and Risk of Depression, Anxiety, and Cerebrovascular Disease.

Introduction: High cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) has been associated with a lower risk of depression, anxiety, and cerebrovascular disease. The aim was to explore CRF changes over-time associated with these outcomes.

Methods: This large-scale prospective cohort study, using data from Swedish population-wide registries and databases (during 1972-2020), included men (n=131,431), with measures of estimated CRF (estCRF) in late adolescence (maximal cycle test) and adulthood (submaximal cycle test) (mean years between 24.

Cardiorespiratory fitness in midlife and subsequent incident depression, long-term sickness absence, and disability pension due to depression in 330,247 men and women.

Objective: Specific information for whom and when cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) is associated with depression risk is lacking. We aimed to study the association between adulthood CRF and incident depression, long-term sickness absence, and disability pension due to depression, as well as examine moderation of sex, age, education, and occupation on associations.

Methods: A large prospective cohort study follows participants over time with Swedish occupational health screenings data.

Association between change in cardiorespiratory fitness and prostate cancer incidence and mortality in 57 652 Swedish men.

Objectives: To examine the associations between changes in cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) in adulthood and prostate cancer incidence and mortality.

Methods: In this prospective study, men who completed an occupational health profile assessment including at least two valid submaximal CRF tests, performed on a cycle ergometer, were included in the study. Data on prostate cancer incidence and mortality were derived from national registers.

Moderating effect of cardiorespiratory fitness on sickness absence in occupational groups with different physical workloads.

Sickness absence from work has a large adverse impact on both individuals and societies in Sweden and the costs for sickness absence were calculated to 64.6 billion Swedish kronor (approx. 5.

Maintaining or increasing cardiorespiratory fitness is associated with reduced hospital admission rate.

Aims: The aim of this study was to investigate the association between change in cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) and cardiovascular disease (CVD)-related and all-cause hospital admission and explore if the association varies dependently on prior admission, baseline CRF, sex, and age.

Methods And Results: A total of 91 140 adult participants (41.5% women) with two examinations from occupational health profile assessments between 1986 and 2019 were included (mean of 3.

Association Between Cardiorespiratory Fitness and Cancer Incidence and Cancer-Specific Mortality of Colon, Lung, and Prostate Cancer Among Swedish Men.

Importance: Cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) levels appear to be an important risk factor for cancer incidence and death.

Objectives: To examine CRF and prostate, colon, and lung cancer incidence and mortality in Swedish men, and to assess whether age moderated any associations between CRF and cancer.

Design, Setting, And Participants: A prospective cohort study was conducted in a population of men who completed an occupational health profile assessment between October 1982 and December 2019 in Sweden.

Lifestyle-related habits and factors before and after cardiovascular diagnosis: a case control study among 2,548 Swedish individuals.

Background: Healthy lifestyle habits are recommended in prevention of cardiovascular disease (CVD). However, there is limited knowledge concerning the change in lifestyle-related factors from before to after a CVD event. Thus, this study aimed to explore if and how lifestyle habits and other lifestyle-related factors changed between two health assessments in individuals experiencing a CVD event between the assessments, and if changes varied between subgroups of sex, age, educational level, duration from CVD event to second assessment and type of CVD event.

How Human Resources Index, Relational Justice, and Perceived Productivity Change after Reorganization at a Hospital in Sweden That Uses a Structured Support Model for Systematic Work Environment Management.

To facilitate systematic work environment management, which should be a natural part of business development, a structured support model was developed. The Stamina model has previously been used in Swedish municipalities, showing positive results. The aim was to study how the Human Resources Index (HRI), relational justice, short-term recovery and perceived productivity changed in a recently reorganised perioperative setting in a hospital in Sweden that uses a structured support model for systematic work environment management.

Can the Human Resources Index (HRI) Be Used as a Process Feedback Measurement in a Structured Support Model for Systematic Work Environment Management?

The aim of the study was to estimate the level of the human resources index (HRI) measure among Swedish municipal employees, and to investigate the association between human resources index (HRI) and relational justice, short-term recovery, work environment-related production loss, and health-related production loss. A cross-sectional design was used with one sample of municipal employees ( = 6402). The results showed a positive association (r = 0.

Procurement and implementation processes for Occupational Health Services in Sweden.

Background: Employers are required to get expert advice whenever needed to ensure a safe work environment. Providers of Occupational Health Services (OHS) could be such experts, but their services are usually used to provide health-related support to individuals, not preventive Occupational Health and Safety Management (OHSM) or other group-focused interventions.

Objective: To investigate how contracts with OHS providers in Sweden are established and implemented.
