The Long-Term Impact of Education on Mortality and Health: Evidence from Sweden

There is a well-documented large positive correlation between education and health and yet it remains unclear as to whether this is a causal relationship. Potential reasons for this lack of clarity include estimation using different methods, analysis of different populations and school reforms that are different in design. In this paper we assess whether the type of school reform, the instrument a

Enviro-organizational rift in Swedish flood risk governance

Floods tend not to be bounded by geopolitical or administrative borders, and involve various sectors in society. Flood risk must thus be jointly governed by a web of actors (Renn, 2008), who are not independent of each other but dependent on various resources and affected by the decisions and actions others are making (Becker, 2014). The patterns of social relations among these actors are therefor

Therefore, parents can act as role models and influence their children toward a healthier lifestyle. Besides a strong association between parental and child health behaviours, parents also influence their children's health behaviours through socio-cognitive pr

Use of hormone replacement therapy improves the prognosis in patients with colorectal cancer : A population-based study in Sweden

The association between hormone therapy (estrogen, with or without progesterone) and colorectal cancer (CRC) has received considerable scientific interest but previous research has generated inconsistent results. We aimed to examine whether post-diagnostic use of hormone therapy might protect against CRC mortality and all-cause mortality. Women diagnosed with CRC between January 2007 and December

Low response rate to ATG-based immunosuppressive therapy in very severe aplastic anaemia - A Swedish nationwide cohort study

Objectives: Antithymocyte globulin (ATG)-based immunosuppression remains a cornerstone in aplastic anaemia (AA) treatment. However, most ATG studies are not population-based and knowledge about real-world results concerning response and outcome could offer important information for treating physicians. Methods: We have recently performed a nationwide retrospective cohort study on all AA patients d

The Southern Sweden Adolescent Allergy-Cohort : Prevalence of allergic diseases and cross-sectional associations with individual and social factors

Epidemiology of kidney failure and glomerulonephritis in Sweden. Hereditary and non-hereditary factors.

Background: Kidney disease is recognised as an important worldwide health burden. Kidney failure is the result of acute and chronic kidney disease and is associated with morbidity and mortality. Chronic kidney failure is associated with high-costs for society and low quality of life. Kidney failure may progress to end-stage renal disease (ESRD) that requires dialysis or kidney transplantation with
