Packaging Value by Generation—Results of a Finnish Study

School engagement has been shown to protect students from dropping out of education, depression and school burnout. The aim of this Finnish study was to explore the association between child-parent relationships and how much 99,686 children aged 9–11 years liked school. The data were based on the 2019 School Health Promotion Study, conducted by the Finnish Institute for Health and Welfare. This asked children whether they liked school or not and about their child-parent relationships. Univariate and multivariate analyses were used to examine the data separately for boys and girls and the results are presented as odds ratios (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI). According to the results, girls showed more school engagement than boys (81.9% versus 74.0%), and it was more common in children who felt that their parents communicated with them in a supportive way. This association was slightly stronger for girls than boys (OR 2.46 95% CI 2.33–2.59 versus OR 2.10 95% CI 2.02–2.20). It is important that child-parent relationships and communication are considered during school health examinations, so that children who have lower support at home can be identified.

Risk Of Preeclampsia

Previous studies have demonstrated a common variant of the obesity and fat mass-relatedFTOgene, rs9939609, to be associated with obesity, type 2 diabetes, and elevated blood pressure. We investigated whether theFTOSNP rs9939609 is associated with the risk of preeclampsia (PE) in a Finnish study population. 485 women with prior PE and 449 women who had given birth after a normotensive pregnancy were genotyped (TaqMan) for the SNP rs9939609. The prevalences of genotypes AA, AT, and TT were 15%, 53%, and 32%, respectively, among the PE cases, and 16%, 47%, and 37%, respectively, among the controls (P=0.199). We found no evidence of an association between theFTOSNP rs9939609 and PE. However, our cases were dominated by severe, early-onset PE. Thus, we are unable to exclude an association with the milder, later-onset form of the disease in which the role of maternal metabolic predisposition could be more significant.Erratum to “An Obesity-RelatedFTOVariant and the Risk of Preeclampsia in a Finnish Study Population”

Finnish Study

Objective:To study whether the incidence of subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) varies between geographical regions of Finland.Methods:By utilizing the nationwide Causes of Death and Hospital Discharge Registers, we identified all first-ever, hospitalized and sudden-death (dying before hospitalization) SAH events in Finland between 1998 and 2017. Based on the SAH patients’ home residence, we divided SAHs into five geographical regions: 1) Southern, 2) Central, 3) Western, 4) Eastern, and 5) Northern Finland. We calculated crude and European age-standardized (ESP2013) SAH incidence rates for each region, and used a Poisson regression model to calculate age-, sex- and calendar year-adjusted incidence rate ratios (IRRs) and 95% confidence intervals for regional and time-dependent differences.Results:During the total 106 510 337 cumulative person-years, we identified 9 443 first-ever SAH cases, of which 24% died before hospitalization. As compared to Western Finland, where the SAH incidence was the lowest (7.4 per 100 000 persons), the ESP-standardized SAH incidence was 1.4 times higher in Eastern (10.2 per 100 000 persons; adjusted IRR=1.37 (1.27–1.47)) and Northern Finland (10.4 per 100 000 persons; adjusted IRR=1.40 (1.30–1.51)). These differences were similar when men and women were analyzed independently. Although SAH incidence rates decreased in all five regions over two decades, the rate of decrease varied significantly by region.Conclusion:SAH incidence appears to vary substantially by region in Finland. Our results suggest that regional SAH studies can identify high-risk subpopulations, but can also considerably over- or underestimate incidence on a nationwide level.
