“…Dette støttes av norske studier som viser at HRLK hos ungdommene er gjennomsnittlig relativt høy (9,10). Både norske (9-11) og internasjonale (2,12) studier konkluderer med at HRLK viser kjønnsforskjeller, i form av lavere HRLK hos jenter enn gutter og at HRLK er synkende ved stigende alder hos jentene.…”

“…Tidligere forskning viser at tilstedevaerelse av foreldre, familie og venner er viktig for ungdoms opplevelse av livskvalitet, og at dette virker som en buffer mot lav opplevd HRLK (9,(13)(14)(15). Somatisering av psykiske problemer, som hodepine, magesmerter og lignende er et tegn på dårligere HRLK hos ungdom (10,15). Faktorer som mental helse, stress, selvtillit og mestring virker inn på ungdoms HRLK og bør arbeides med gjennom programmer i skolen (16)(17)(18)(19).…”

“…Sammenliknet med voksne har ungdoms HRLK fått liten oppmerksomhet (10,20). Ungdomsårene er en sensitiv periode av livet hvor mye av grunnlaget for framtidig HRLK legges, og det er derfor viktig å få mer kunnskap om ungdommers livssituasjon.…”

“…Forskning viser imidlertid at HRLK kan variere fra land til land (22,28), noe som viser viktigheten av nasjonale normstandarder. I denne studien fant vi litt lavere gjennomsnittskår sammenliknet med europeiske normdata og data fra Haraldstads studie (10). Dette kan forklares med at utvalget i vår studie hovedsakelig består av 15-16-åringer.…”

“…Dette kan forklares med at utvalget i vår studie hovedsakelig består av 15-16-åringer. De europeiske normdata og Haraldstads studier er basert på et bredere aldersspenn, og annen forskning viser at HRLK er synkende med stigende alder, spesielt for jenter (9)(10)(11)(12). Når vi tar hensyn til aldersaspektet, samsvarer våre resultater med forventet verdi av HRLK og egenvurdert helse.…”

Health-related quality of life in adolescents` first year in high schoolBackground: Knowledge about adolescents' health-related quality of life (HRQOL) is crucial in a preventive and health promoting perspective. However, few studies have investigated HRQOL among adolescents in Norway. Objective:To increase knowledge about HRQOL among adolescents by investigating their HRQOL and identify factors of importance for their HRQOL.Method: Cross-sectional study including 189 adolescents, age mainly 15-16 years of age. HRQOL was measured by KIDSCREEN-10. T-test and chi-squared test were applied to investigate differences in groups based on respectively demographic variables and cut-off values for HRQOL. Multiple regression analysis was used to investigate associations between socio-demographic variables and HRQOL. Results:The mean value for HRQOL was 71.1 (range 0 -100) and for selfassessed health 2.89 (range 0-4). A total of 17 % reported HRQOL below the lower threshold.The girls reported significantly lower mean HRQOL and self-reported health than did the boys (for both p=<0.001). The multiple regression analysis revealed that gender and frequent relocation were significantly associated with HRQOL with unstandardized beta and p-value respectively 8,682, p=< 0.001 and -6,978, p=0.014. Conclusion:Most adolescents experience good HRQOL. The study indicates that school health services should be aware of the development of girls` HRQOL and of adolescents that report lower HRQOL.

To explore age differences in current and preferred silhouette and body dissatisfaction (current -preferred silhouette discrepancy) in women aged 25-89 years using figural stimuli (range: 1-very small to 9-very large). Data were abstracted from two online convenience samples (N = 5,868). t-tests with permutation-adjusted p-values examined linear associations between mean silhouette scores (current, preferred, discrepancy score) and age with/without stratification by body mass index (BMI). Modal current silhouette was 5; modal preferred silhouette was 4; mean discrepancy score was 1.8. There was no significant association between current silhouette and age, but a positive linear association between preferred silhouette and age remained after stratification by BMI. A significant inverse linear association of silhouette discrepancy score and age was found only prior to stratification by BMI. Body dissatisfaction exists in women across the adult life span and is influenced by BMI.

AimTo examine differences in health‐related quality of life between boys and girls in the first and third years of upper secondary school.DesignProspective longitudinal study.MethodsThe KIDSCREEN‐10 was used to assess health‐related quality of life. Differences in health‐related quality of life over time were estimated using a linear mixed‐effects model for correlated measurements.ResultsIn the first‐year boys (N = 168) and girls (N = 228) reported a mean health‐related quality of life score of 76.3 (SD 10.7) and 69.8 (SD 11.5), respectively. In the third year, the mean health‐related quality of life score for boys and girls was 73.5 (SD 12.4) and 65.7 (SD 13.3), respectively. Boys had a significant decrease in health‐related quality of life mean score of −2.6 and girls a significant decrease of −3.8 (p < .001) over the 3‐year period. There was no significant difference between boys’ and girls’ health‐related quality of life changes (p = .39).

Predictors of health‐related quality of life in a sample of children and adolescents: a school survey

Abstract: Knowledge about predictors of health-related quality of life is especially important for public health nurses. Health promotion and intervention programmes that aim to strengthen psychosocial well-being, especially those that strengthen body image, should be developed for both genders.
