Open AccessSocial network ties before and after retirement: a cohort study
Social networks are associated with individual’s health and well-being. Working life offers opportunities to create and maintain social networks, while retirement may change these networks. This study examined...

Open AccessSocial relationships as predictors of extended employment beyond the pensionable age: a cohort study
The aim is to examine whether characteristics of social relationships predict extended employment beyond the pensionable age among Finnish public sector workers. The study population consisted of 4014 particip...

Open AccessCirculating cell-free DNA level predicts all-cause mortality independent of other predictors in the Health 2000 survey
Increased levels of circulating cell-free DNA (cf-DNA) are associated with and predict poor health outcomes. However, its predictive ability for mortality in population-based samples remains understudied. We a...

Open AccessBody mass index as a predictor of healthy and disease-free life expectancy between ages 50 and 75: a multicohort study
While many studies have shown associations between obesity and increased risk of morbidity and mortality, little comparable information is available on how body mass index (BMI) impacts health expectancy. We e...

Open AccessThe ethnic gap in mobility: a comparison of Russian, Somali and Kurdish origin migrants and the general Finnish population
Many ethnic minority populations have poorer health than the general population. However, there is limited knowledge on the possible ethnic gap in physical mobility. We aim to examine the prevalence of mobilit...

Length of sick leave as a risk marker of hip fracture: a nationwide cohort study from Sweden
Sickness absence is a risk marker for future health outcomes, but no previous studies have examined its association with osteoporotic fractures in old age. The results of this prospective population-based coho...

Obesity and muscle strength as long-term determinants of all-cause mortality—a 33-year follow-up of the Mini-Finland Health Examination Survey
To examine the independent and combined associations of obesity and muscle strength with mortality in adult men and women.

Fall-related risk factors and heel quantitative ultrasound in the assessment of hip fracture risk: a 10-year follow-up of a nationally representative adult population sample
Maximal walking speed and quantitative ultrasound index (QUI) were significant and independent predictors of hip fracture among subjects aged ≥55 years. A model including readily available variables along with...

Are body mass index, waist circumference and waist-to-hip ratio associated with leptin in 90-year-old people?
Data on how body mass index (BMI), waist circumference (WC) and waist-to-hip ratio (WHR) are associated with body fat in the oldest-old people are scarce. The purpose of this study was to examine if BMI, WC or...

Association of midlife obesity and cardiovascular risk with old age frailty: a 26-year follow-up of initially healthy men
To investigate whether old age frailty is predicted by midlife overweight/obesity and cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk.

Effect of age on the association between body fat percentage and maximal walking speed
To study the effect of age on the association between body fat percentage and maximal walking speed in older people.

Inertial and gravitational mass in quantum mechanics
We show that in complete agreement with classical mechanics, the dynamics of any quantum mechanical wave packet in a linear gravitational potential involves the gravitational and the inertial mass only as their r...

The effect of obesity combined with low muscle strength on decline in mobility in older persons: results from the InCHIANTI Study
Both obesity and muscle impairment are increasingly prevalent among older persons and negatively affect health and physical functioning. However, the combined effect of coexisting obesity and muscle impairment...

Transient dynamics of linear quantum amplifiers
The transient dynamics of a quantum linear amplifier during the transition from dam** to amplification regime is studied. The master equation for the quantized mode of the field is solved, and the solution ...

Transition Steering via Space-Dependent Coupling
The transition between electronic energy surfaces of molecules is usually described in the Franck-Condon approximation where the spatial variation of the coupling matrix elements is neglected. In this work we ...

On Correlation Approach to Scattering in the Decoherence Timescale
We provide a “first principles” description of scattering from open quantum systems subject to a Lindblad-type dynamics. In particular we consider the case that the duration of the scattering process is of sim...

Quantum Dynamics Effected by Repeated Measurements
We consider the time evolution of a dynamic quantum system coupled to a repeatedly measured ancilla. Given the time lapse Δt between two subsequent measurements, the combined system may be described using a diffe...

The Varieties of Master Equations
Irreversible time evolution is in quantum systems described by Master Equations. These are usually derived by elimination of degrees of freedom belonging to an environment acting as a reservoir. When the reser...

Coherent control of the self-trap** transition
We discuss the dynamics of two weakly coupled Bose-Einstein condensates in a double-well potential, contrasting the mean-field picture to the exact N-particle evolution. On the mean-field level, a self-trap** t...
