Long-term risk of a major cardiovascular event by apoB, apoA-1, and the apoB/apoA-1 ratio—Experience from the Swedish AMORIS cohort: A cohort study Open
Background Elevated apolipoprotein B (apoB) and elevated apoB/apoA-1 ratio increase the risk of myocardial infarction (MI) and stroke, whereas high apoA-1 is protective. We study how these apolipoproteins are associated with major adverse …

Cognitive stimulation in the workplace, plasma proteins, and risk of dementia: three analyses of population cohort studies Open
Objectives To examine the association between cognitively stimulating work and subsequent risk of dementia and to identify protein pathways for this association. Design Multicohort study with three sets of analyses. Setting United Kingdom,…

Association of Alcohol-Induced Loss of Consciousness and Overall Alcohol Consumption With Risk for Dementia Open
The findings of this study suggest that alcohol-induced loss of consciousness, irrespective of overall alcohol consumption, is associated with a subsequent increase in the risk of dementia.

Physical inactivity, cardiometabolic disease, and risk of dementia: an individual-participant meta-analysis Open
Objective To examine whether physical inactivity is a risk factor for dementia, with attention to the role of cardiometabolic disease in this association and reverse causation bias that arises from changes in physical activity in the precl…

The Tale of Asbestos in Sweden 1972–1986—The Pathway to a Near-Total Ban Open
This paper provides a narrative of the national intervention strategy in Sweden aimed to restrict the industrial use of asbestos. For many years, asbestos was imported for widespread industrial use, resulting in large amounts throughout Sw…

Body mass index and risk of dementia: Analysis of individual‐level data from 1.3 million individuals Open
Introduction Higher midlife body mass index (BMI) is suggested to increase the risk of dementia, but weight loss during the preclinical dementia phase may mask such effects. Methods We examined this hypothesis in 1,349,857 dementia‐free pa…

Long working hours as a risk factor for atrial fibrillation: a multi-cohort study Open
Individuals who worked long hours were more likely to develop atrial fibrillation than those working standard hours.

Effort–Reward Imbalance at Work and Incident Coronary Heart Disease Open
Individuals with effort-reward imbalance at work have an increased risk of coronary heart disease, and this appears to be independent of job strain experienced. These findings support expanding focus beyond just job strain in future resear…

Job strain as a risk factor for clinical depression: systematic review and meta-analysis with additional individual participant data Open
Background Adverse psychosocial working environments characterized by job strain (the combination of high demands and low control at work) are associated with an increased risk of depressive symptoms among employees, but evidence on clinic…

Effort-Reward Imbalance at Work and Incident Coronary Heart Disease: A Multi-Cohort Study of 90,164 Individuals Open
Background: Epidemiologic evidence for work stress as a risk factor for coronary heart disease is mostly based on a single measure of stressful work known as job strain, a combination of high demands and low job control. We examined whethe…

Job insecurity and risk of diabetes: a meta-analysis of individual participant data Open
Our findings suggest that self-reported job insecurity is associated with a modest increased risk of incident diabetes. Health care personnel should be aware of this association among workers reporting job insecurity.
