“…[40] Socioeconomic disadvantage may shape youths' mental health in several ways: (1) through the lasting effects of early life experiences, (2) through influences on academic and socioeconomic attainment, (3) through direct biological mechanisms. In this study, we accounted for the first mechanism by controlling the analyses for family disruption, [3,41] parental physical and mental illness, [42] and family conflict. [43] Our results indicated that, with the exception of family disruption which previously has not been consistently associated with long-term patterns of mental health, [42] these factors were associated with youths' mental health in univariate analyses, but did not explain the effect of longitudinal family income.…”

“…Even though the youngest age groups are healthier than others, one fourth of all 18-to 29-year-olds has a chronic illness, and one third rates their physical fitness to be average at best Kestilä et al 2006). Prolonged unemployment is known to decrease the functional capacity of even the young.…”

PrefaceThe focus on the population's work ability has changed over the years due to changes in working life, public health, population structure, culture and societal norms. Comprehensive and up-to- AbstractResearch on work ability is important from the perspective of the individual, work organisation and society. Good work ability increases wellbeing and supports employment. Knowledge on the different dimensions of work ability is necessary for regaining, maintaining and promoting work ability.The purpose of this book is to provide a comprehensive overview of the work ability of the Finnish population. The book is based on the extensive data of the Finnish Health 2000 Survey. The focus is on the age group of 30 to 64 years; young adults and over 64-year-olds are addressed more briefly. The number of the 30-to 64-year-old participants was 5,199.Most people of working age evaluated their work ability as good. Welleducated persons, white-collar workers and those living with families were most satisfied with their work ability whereas farmers, part-time workers and unemployed people often perceived their work ability to be limited. In all population groups work ability decreased with growing age. The oldest group of employed women, in particular, had many problems with work ability. Among young adults, the highest risks of limited work ability were unemployment, lack of sufficient basic education and mental problems.Health and work were the most important determinants of work ability. Of the diseases investigated in this study, depression and back disorders decreased the work ability of employed people the most. Yet, also among those with no long-term illnesses, limitations in work ability increased with age.Low physical work demands, support from supervisors and co-workers, control over one's work, and possibilities of development at work were related to good work ability. A suitable job seemed to ensure maintenance of work ability also among older workers.In addition to work and health also expertise, skills and attitudes defined work ability. The relation of expertise to good work ability was, however, evident only among those with a higher education, a physically light job and good health.A comparison with the data of the Mini-Finland Survey that was carried out at the end of the 1970s showed that work ability of the population had improved over a period of two decades. The simultaneous change in the population's educational level explained the decrease in work ability limitations among women and for the most part among men.

“…Among the socio-economic circumstances, early living conditions are important, as childhood adversities may have both direct and indirect effects on adult health (Galobardes et al, 2006;Kestilä et al, 2006;Kivimäki et al, 2006a, b;Mäkinen et al, 2006) and on mortality (Galobardes et al, 2004). However, childhood socio-economic position has often been examined irrespective of current socio-economic position.…”

Objective: To examine associations between seven indicators of socio-economic circumstances and healthy food habits, while taking into account assumed temporal order between these socio-economic indicators. Design and setting: Data were derived from cross-sectional postal questionnaires in 2000-2002. Socio-economic circumstances were assessed by parental education, childhood economic difficulties, own education, occupational class, household income, home ownership and current economic difficulties. Healthy food habits were measured by an index consisting of consumption of fresh vegetables, fruit or berries, rye bread, fish and choosing vegetable fats on bread and oil in cooking. Sequential logistic regression models were used, adjusting for age and marital status. Participants: Employees of the City of Helsinki, Finland (n ¼ 8960, aged 40-60 years). Results: Healthy food habits were reported by 28% of women and by 17% of men. Own education, occupational class, household income, home ownership and current economic difficulties were associated with healthy food habits. These associations were attenuated but mainly remained after mutual adjustments for the socio-economic indicators. Among women, a pathway was found suggesting that part of the effects of education on food habits were mediated through occupational class. Conclusions: Employees in higher and lower socio-economic positions differ in their food habits, and those in lower positions and economically disadvantaged are less likely to report healthy food habits. Health promotion programmes and food policies should encourage healthier food choices among those in lower socio-economic positions and among those with economic difficulties in particular. Sponsorship: Academy of Finland.

Determinants of health in early adulthood: what is the role of parental education, childhood adversities and own education?

Abstract: Childhood living conditions and adversities are strongly associated with poor SRH and psychological distress in early adulthood. Early recognition of childhood adversities followed by relevant support measures may play an important role in preventing health problems in adulthood.
