“…8 Negative stress has been reported as a growing health problem among women 9 10 and reports of feeling stress more than doubled in the cohort recruited 2004, compared with that recruited 36 years earlier in 1968, in the Population Study of Women, in which secular trends in 38-year-old and 50-year-old women are studied. 11 Furthermore, a strong association between physical activity and well-being was shown in the same population study and a positive change in physical activity was associated with increased well-being. 12 From a population perspective low socioeconomic status is a risk factor and the greatest health benefits should consequently emanate from preventive work based in primary healthcare, in close cooperation with other public actors.…”

ObjectiveTo evaluate, in an ordinary primary healthcare setting, the effects of a screening questionnaire and a self-administered health profile dealing with special reference to the involvement of motivated individuals in need of lifestyle changes.DesignIntervention study in a naturalistic context, using a screening questionnaire offered to consecutive patients, followed by a self-administered health profile and a health dialogue.SettingHisingen primary healthcare area (130 033 inhabitants), Gothenburg, Sweden.ParticipantsMen and women aged between 18 and 79, visiting any of the eight public primary healthcare centres (PCC) during an 8-month period, were presented with a screening questionnaire and, were offered, a health profile, a plasma glucose (p-glucose), blood pressure check and a health dialogue.Main outcome measuresMotivation level, negative lifestyle factors in screening questionnaire and intraindividual changes in blood pressure, p-glucose, body mass index (BMI) and lifestyle factors between baseline and 1-year follow-up.ResultsSubjects with less favourable lifestyle and higher motivation chose to participate. A higher percentage of presumptive participants reported a less favourable lifestyle. The presumptive participants also indicated higher motivation. Participants showed more readiness to initiate lifestyle changes compared to non-participants (p<0.001). At 1-year follow-up significant reductions in BMI, waist circumference, waist–hip ratio (WHR), blood pressure and p-glucose were observed.ConclusionsThe results indicate that the method is on target and applicable to motivated individuals with a ‘risk profile’. A pedagogical model including a self-administered health-profile and a health dialogue, combined with emphasising the individual's own resources, seems to be a feasible method for effective preventive work in primary healthcare.

“…However, the Na concentration in the present study (median 192 mg/L) was twice as high as in the 1989 WHO study (88 mg/L), but comparable to Na concentrations measured in milk samples collected during early lactation in the USA (mean 212 mg/L 21 days pp; [20]) and Gambia (120 mg/L 30 days pp; [21]). Although, breast milk Na concentration is reported to decrease during the lactation period [10,21], the observed difference over time may reflect a true increase in Na intake, since there has been a substantial increase in the intake of salt through food among Swedes since the 1980’s [22]. This needs further investigation since high Na intake in infancy may have long-term effects on blood pressure later in life [21].…”

Metals and trace element concentrations in breast milk of first time healthy mothers: a biological monitoring study

BackgroundBreast milk is the best source of nutrition for the newborn infant. However, since all infants cannot be breast-fed, there is a need for background data for setting adequate daily intakes. Previously, concentration data on major essential elements and some toxic elements in breast milk, based on different analytical techniques, have been published. There is no recent study on a large number of metals and trace elements in breast milk, using a sensitive analytical method for determination of low element concentrations.MethodsBreast milk concentrations of 32 metals and elements in early lactation (days 14-21) were determined in a random sample of first time Swedish mothers (n = 60) using inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICPMS).ResultsThere were small inter-individual concentration variations in the macroelements Ca, K, Mg, P and S, and striking similarities across studies and over time, supporting a tight regulation of these elements in breast milk. Large inter-individual and over time differences were detected for Na concentrations, which may reflect an increase in salt consumption in Swedish women. Large inter-individual differences were also detected for the microelements Co, Cr, Mn and Mo, and the toxic metals As, Cd, Pb, Sb and V. Arsenic and B were positively correlated with fish consumption, indicating influence of maternal intake on breast milk concentrations. Observed differences in breast milk element concentrations across studies and over time could be attributed to the timing of sampling and a general decline over time of lactation (Cu, Fe, Mo, Zn), a possible lack of regulation of certain elements in breast milk (As, B, Co, Mn, Se) and time trends in environmental exposure (Pb), or in some cases to differences in analytical performance (Cr, Fe).ConclusionsThis study provides reliable updated information on a number of metals and elements in breast milk, of which some have not previously been reported.

“…Smoking is a known risk factor for developing MC [15], but its effect on symptoms when the disease is present has never been examined. The wine consumption amongst women has been steadily increasing in Sweden during the last decades, coincident 4 with the same time interval when MC has increased in incidence [2,16]. It is known that women are more vulnerable to alcohol than men [17].…”
