The target population for the RHINE study were all subjects (n=21,802) from Reykjavik in Iceland, Bergen in Norway, Umeå, Uppsala and Göteborg in Sweden, Aarhus in Denmark and Tartu in Estonia that participated in stage 1 of the ECRHS (response rate 83.7%). The eligible subjects were sent a postal questionnaire in 1999-2001. In total 16,191 (74.3%) subjects answered the questionnaire.This questionnaire includes questions on respiratory symptoms, asthma, rhinitis, bronchitis, smoking, indoor environment, occupation, early life exposure and sleep disorders. Part of this population are part of the ECRHS II The ECRHS II is a follow-up survey of subjects from 14 countries who participated in the clinical phase of ECRHS I (3,4). The study is funded by the European Commission, as well as other sources of funding, as part of their Quality of Life Programme.The participants answered a detailed structured interview about symptoms, exposure to known or suspected risk factors for asthma, occupation and health service utilisation. Blood was taken for measurement of specific IgE to house dust mite, grass, cat and Cladosporium and DNA extraction (not all centres). Spirometry and methacholine challenge was performed. Health related quality of life was assessed by self completed questionnaires: SF-36 and AQLQ. In a sub-sample home visits were made to measure exposure to house dust mites and cat allergens. Throughout the study outdoor exposure to PM2.5, PM10 and NO2 was measured in the centres participating in the study. A follow up of the RHINE and ECRHS populations was conducted in 2010-2012: RHINE III and ECRHS III Purpose: 1. To assess the incidence and remission rate of asthma and allergic rhinitis and to determine risk factors in a representative Nordic population sample. 2. To assess the influence of occupational and home related environmental exposure on the development of asthma and allergic rhinitis in Northern Europe. 3. To investigate the association between the menstrual cycle and asthmatic symptoms in women. 4. To assess the incidence and remission of sleep disturbances and determine risk factors including atopy and asthma.

In total, 47,468 men and 48,079 women participated (mean age 48.7 years, range 22-99 years). The screening consisted of measurement of height (m), weight (kg) and blood pressure (BP; mmHg), as well as blood sampling including the determination of serum SA concentration (mg/L). All subjects have been followed in national registers until end of 2005 for in-hospital registered diagnosis. the cohort is also linked with data from the Swedish population and housing census in 1960. Purpose: The Swedish National Board of Health decided in 1961 to undertake a general health survey in the county of Värmland and also in parts of the county of Gävleborg in Sweden, the so called Värmland Health Survey (VHS). The survey was conducted between 1962 and 1965 in connection with the mass-screening programme of miniature photo fluorography (x-ray) of the chest. The aim of the survey was to perform a chemical mass-screening to identify pre-symptomatic disease, especially different types of CVD, malignancies and inflammatory conditions. Improved laboratory techniques and automated laboratory methods were used for screening. Simple measurements of some physical variables were also performed. The examination included a questionnaire with questions on previous hypertension, albuminuria, diabetes and anaemia or any infection during the previous three weeks. No information on diet, smoking habits, alcohol consumption or number of pregnancies was collected. In three districts of Värmland (Arvika, Hagfors and Karlstad) and in one district of Gävleborg, (Hofors-Torsåker), inhabitants 25 years of age or older were invited to participate in the survey. Despite the age limit, a small number of individuals younger than 25 years of age also participated. All together 97,273 subjects underwent the screening, (~76% attendance in Värmland and 86% in Gästrikland). The large amount of data collected has previously been described and used in three different projects for studying the role of sialic acid in prediction of CVD by Lindberg et a.l and Khalili et. al. The role of cholesterol in prediction of cancer has been studied by Törnberg et al..

In the late 60's and the beginning of the 70's, functional organ disorders in nerv, circulation, gastrointestinal and reproduction systems were shown. Since the early 80's, reports about prevalence of cancer in these groups have dominated the interest of researches. Working Life Insitute (Arbetslivsinstitutet) was responsible for the study. The investigational period reached over the years 1981 to 1995. The study base consisted of 706 new employed men. Information about healt and environment, family and children, ergonomic pressure and subjective symptomatology was gathered from questionnaires. Data were collected at start of employment and then after three, six and nine years. After nine years there were 466 participants left in the cohort with data from both exposure and health endpoint from all four examinations. In addition were clinical tests and blood samples included. Serum has been saved and kept in frosen condition (-70 degrees). Purpose: The aim of the study was to follow and evaluate health risks, from reported morbidity and with possibility to analysis of exposure factors in working environment, in a group of young electricity workers in power industry. Further the aim is also to illustrate eventual associations between different working environment factors and poor health.

The Public Health Agency is responsible for the survey and Statistics Sweden (SCB) is responsible for the distribution, collection and registration. During the data collection in 2016, Göteborgs Stad ordered an additional sample. The population consisted of all people in the municipality of Gothenburg aged 16-84 and the additional sample ordered by Göteborgs Stad consisted of 4984 persons. The total sample, i.e. the additional sample and the individuals from Gothenburg in the national sample was 6200 people. A total of 2693 individuals answered the questionnaire, representing a response rate of 43,5 percent. The number of webb responses was 753 or 28,0 percent of the respondents. The Public Health Agency designed the questions in the questionnaire which consisted of 62 numbered questions. Several questions had sub-questions, which resulted in a total of 93 questions. The questions in the questionnaire dealt with subjects such as health, lifestyle, economical conditions, work and employment as well as security and social relations. In addition to the variables collected through the questionnaire a number of variables were retrieved from registers. Purpose: The aim of the national survey is to investigate the health in the population and to show changes in the population's health over time as a follow up of the national health politics. The aim of the additional sample in Göteborgs Stad is to investigate the health in the population in Gothenburg.

Sub-studies: • A survey concerning health and health behaviors was mailed in 1994 with responses from 1210 twins from 605 pairs where both responded. Mean age at baseline assessment was 74.43 years (SD 4.28) and all were Caucasians. • A baseline in-person evaluation of 498 twins from 249 pairs between 70 and 80 years of age was undertaken between 1995 and 1997, and included an interview and tests of cognitive and physical functioning. • Two additional in-person waves followed at four-year intervals (1999-2001 and 2003-2005). • Finally, a second survey was mailed in 2007 to all living twins who participated in the first mailed survey. The main interest of the study was gender differences in health and health behaviors in old age. Questions about subjective health, use of healthcare, and behaviors and attitudes related to health, perceived ADL capacity, personality and social networks, formal and informal care etc. are available. Measures of grip-strength, vital capacity, blood pressure, a number of exercises related to muscle strength and balance, and cognitive functions are available. Blood values and genotyping are also available.

The health screening program included a postal validated questionnaire concerning medical history, drug treatment, family history of diabetes and hypertension, menopausal status, smoking and alcohol habits, education, household, and working status, physical activity, quality of life as well as subjective physical and mental symptoms. The screening consisted of a routine physical examination with standardized blood pressure measurements, bone densitometry and an extended laboratory examination. A link with the mammography registry was established. 10766 women were invited to the study and the total cohort consists of 6917 (response rate 64.2%). Purpose: The aim was to study the health profile in a population based cohort of middle-aged women in a geographically well-defined area in relation to metabolic factors, bone density, quality of life, lifestyle, social conditions and various subjective symptoms.

To potentiate young stock health and survival, preventive health care measures should be applied already at time of mating, and continuously be implemented during pregnancy, delivery and throughout the first living months of the offspring. Lamb mortality in Ethiopia have repeatedly been observed to be high. This study thus aims to investigate the relationship between prevalent routines and occurrence of lamb mortality in concerned herds. The study group is Ethiopian smallholder sheep farmers, and the data was collected in personal interviews strictly following an ad-hoc created questionnaire. The data aimed to qualitatively describe and document existing routines and prerequisites throughout previous year. The dataset consists of one data file (6227 rows × 124 columns) with questionnaire answers. For more information about questionnaire and variable names, see documentation files. The document files consist of a few pages with classifications and explanations of the data set. The files also incorporate the questionnaire from which the data is collected, as well as a document explaining the answers given in the interviews. The questionnaire was developed to evaluate commonly prevalent sheep herd health practices. It was developed by experts on the subject, with support in relevant literature. It was developed for this data collection solely. Wed, 18 Jan 2023 15:34:38 GMT https://researchdata.se/en/catalogue/dataset/2020-185-1 https://researchdata.se/en/catalogue/dataset/2020-185-1 Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences Elisabeth Genfors Renée Båge Ulf Magnusson Barbara Wieland The data collection started in 2012 when students in grade 8 answered a questionnaire. The students were followed up after 3 months and after 12 months. Additional data collections are planned when the students are in high school. The study was performed in grade 8 (students aged 13–15 years, median 14 years) in six municipalities in southern Sweden representing rural and urban areas with a total population of 120 000. There were 23 schools with grade 8 students in the included municipalities, and at 14 schools, a mental health program (the DISA program) was offered in the regular school context. At nine schools, the program was offered to girls only; at two schools, it was offered to girls and boys in separate groups; and at three schools, the program was offered in mixed groups. The intervention had been delivered at the intervention schools for 2 years on average, with a range of 1–13 years. Three of the control schools had conducted the intervention before but did not do so during the study period. The reasons for this were staff turnover in two schools and priority of the curricular subject in the third school. Schools without this mental health program in their curriculum were recruited as control schools. At 17 of the schools, all students in grade 8 answered the study questionnaires, but at six schools, only girls participating in the mental health program completed the questionnaires due to school administration reasons, and two schools declined to participate. The gender inequity in the intervention and control groups is thus due to that the mental health program is offered to more girls than boys. The questionnaires were completed by 972 students at baseline. Two data collections were conducted in grade 8, with a response rate of 75%. The questionnaires were completed by 972 students at baseline. At the 12-month follow-up, when students were in grade 9, the response rate was 80%. Further data collection took place during the students' highschool years.

This research project is a part of a common Nordic project 'Work environment, health and well-being on teachers in public school in the Nordic Countries'. The Nordic Minister Counsellor's (Nordiska Ministerrådet) committee of officials for questions concerning working environment gave a mission to the Nordic researchers in 1975. The mission was to become united about a performance plan for a common Nordic project on psychosocial environment and health in working life. One of the two working groups which were elaborated as a suggestion was public school teachers. The study 'Swedish public school teachers' health and well-being at work' was performed at 'the laboratory for clinical stress research' / 'the institute of psychosocial environmental health' at Karolinska Institute under the guidance of Sten-Olof Brenner. The project was completed in 1978 with a selection of respondents, arrangement and dispatch of questionnaires plus collection and processing of answers. A number of questions were asked to a random selection of public school teachers. The questions were asked to find out how the teachers experienced their working situation and how the working environment and the special character of the profession affect the teachers' health and well-being. The influence of the teacher's age, sex and other social backgrounds on the experience of work was examined. The different categories of teachers were compared to each other regarding how teaching in different phases and subjects affects the teacher's working environment. The questionnaire included questions about serving and years of service, teaching in grades and subjects, the size of the classes and the number of teachers, the school's catchment area, timetabling, classes, discussions about teaching, school buildings and working premises, working environment issues, opinion about students, contact with other teachers, parental contact, contact with the school management, education, factors controlling work, anxiety and difficulties in work, support and help in work, appreciation and criticism in work, work related stress, leisure time, lack of time for leisure activities, health status and private situations. Purpose: The overall aim of the project was to find out how the teachers perceived their work situation, and how work environment and the character of the work affected teachers' health and well-being.
