INTRODUCTION: Residential greenspace is linked to mental and cardiometabolic health, but longitudinal studies on detailed greenspace and dementia incidence are limited.
CONCLUSIONS: Uncontrolled asthma and adverse health-related factors were independently associated with sickness absence and related productivity losses among working-age patients with asthma. Improving asthma control and modifiable health-related factors may reduce sickness absence and societal costs.

CONCLUSIONS: A supportive leadership climate may play a modest protective role in the associations between violence and harmful alcohol use and subsequent burnout. Despite small effect sizes and limited causal inference, consistency with theory suggests that leadership climate may play a meaningful protective role in violence-exposed healthcare environments.
BACKGROUND: Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) is common worldwide in adults, but development of CRS has rarely been studied longitudinally in birth-cohorts. The aim was to investigate development of upper airway symptoms from childhood to young adulthood and to identify early risk factors for CRS at 24 years, in a population-based birth cohort.
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Exposure to lung irritants such as smoking and organic solvents has been associated with increased risk of multiple sclerosis (MS), particularly among genetically susceptible individuals. The aim of this study was to investigate the association between occupational exposure to industrial dust and MS and to assess potential interactions with smoking and HLA-DRB1*15:01.
CONCLUSION: Early nut introduction was absent among children with suspected severe nut allergy, regardless of anaphylaxis history. Parental food allergy was more prevalent in children without anaphylaxis, suggesting it is not a reliable predictor of severe allergic reactions.
BACKGROUND: As an important driver of inequality in the labor market, it is crucial to develop measures to assess precarious employment. Most previous measures have been survey-based. METHODS: We used register data on wage-earners aged 20–64 residing in Finland in 2013 (N = 1 873 210) to develop a novel measure of precarious employment, including items on job discontinuity, multijob holding, agency employment, underemployment, and employment income. We assessed the performance of the measure by...
