Summary: Previous studies have shown that adolescents with chronically ill parents may experience more internalizing problems, especially functional somatic symptoms (FSS). However, it is unclear if this association is related to gender and if it specifically affects internalizing or externalizing problems.

Summary: Individuals with depression exhibit different patterns of music preference and emotional responses compared to nondepressed individuals. They tend to choose sad music over happy music and report increased relaxation but decreased happiness after listening to sad songs. Favorite songs of individuals with depression have a slower tempo, and they are more likely to listen to music when feeling sad in order to seek calmness rather than high arousal positive affect.

Summary: Childhood maltreatment, particularly emotional, physical, and sexual abuse, was found to be positively associated with anxiety symptoms in adolescents, especially among those with negative coping styles. Focus on prevention of anxiety symptoms should target adolescents with experiences of childhood maltreatment and negative coping styles to mitigate the impact.

Summary: This study explores the role of alexithymia in the association between perceived parental bonding and mental health, with a focus on potential sex differences. The findings suggest that alexithymia acts as a mediator, while sex plays a moderating role. Specifically, dysfunctional paternal bonding has a stronger impact on psychological symptoms in males.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the relationship between stress-related exhaustion (chronic or short-term, and co-occurring with depression or not) and cognitive performance, and whether polygenic cognitive potential modifies these associations. The study found that high stress-related exhaustion, especially chronic, was associated with slower reaction time. Clinical levels of depression were only related to slower reaction time. Polygenic cognitive potential did not modify these associations. There were no differences in cognitive performance between individuals with co-occurring exhaustion and depression vs. those with only either condition.

Summary: Limited data is available on the association between neighbourhood deprivation and arterial stiffening. This study found that neighbourhood deprivation in childhood and adulthood predicts arterial stiffness indicated by pulse wave velocity (PWV). These findings suggest that neighbourhood deprivation and low adulthood socioeconomic status are independent risk factors for increased arterial stiffness in adulthood.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on public perceptions of other vaccines and diseases. The results showed that during the pandemic, more people received or intended to receive the influenza vaccine compared to before. Participants also perceived influenza as more dangerous during the pandemic and believed vaccines to be safer and more beneficial. However, for childhood vaccines, only perceived safety increased. Additionally, trust in healthcare professionals increased during the pandemic. These findings suggest a spillover effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on how people view other vaccines and illnesses.

Summary: This study found that preterm birth is associated with a higher risk of mental and behavioral disorders in children aged 0-12 years, and the risk increases with the severity of prematurity. Other risk factors for preterm children include male gender, maternal mental health disorders, and smoking during pregnancy. These findings are important for understanding the etiology of childhood mental and behavioral disorders.

Summary: This study tested for protein leverage and the protein leverage hypothesis in children and adolescents. The results showed that proportional energy intake of proteins was inversely associated with energy intake, and increased energy intake on diets with lower protein content was counterbalanced by increased energy expenditure and did not lead to increased adiposity.

Summary: Research on the longitudinal courses of child social-emotional symptoms and sleep during the COVID-19 pandemic within societies would be of key value for promoting child well-being in global crises. We characterized the course of children's social-emotional and sleep symptoms before and throughout the pandemic in a Finnish longitudinal cohort of 1825 5- to 9-year-old children (46% girls) with four follow-up points during the pandemic from up to 695 participants (spring 2020-summer 2021). Second, we examined the role of parental distress and COVID-related stressful events in child symptoms. Child total and behavioral symptoms increased in spring 2020 but decreased thereafter and remained stable throughout the rest of the follow-up. Sleep symptoms decreased in spring 2020 and remained stable thereafter. Parental distress was linked with higher child social-emotional and sleep symptoms. The cross-sectional associations between COVID-related stressors and child symptoms were partially mediated by parental distress. The findings propose that children can be protected from the long-term adverse influences of the pandemic, and parental well-being likely plays a mediating role between pandemic-related stressors and child well-being. Further research focusing on the societal and resilience factors underlying family and child responses to the pandemic is warranted.

Summary: This prospective study investigated the incidence and remission of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) among a general Finnish population. The results showed that during the study period, every fifth participant without NAFLD at baseline developed NAFLD, and one-fifth of those with NAFLD at baseline achieved NAFLD remission. NAFLD became more prevalent during the follow-up period. From a clinical perspective, key predictors of NAFLD incidence and remission were BMI and waist circumference (WC) change independent of their baseline level.

Summary: This study investigates the impact of psychological motives on vaccine refusal. The longitudinal studies suggest that individuals with higher trait reactance are less willing to get vaccinated during the COVID-19 pandemic. The experimental study shows that highly reactant individuals' willingness to vaccinate is unaffected by the amount and framing of the information provided.
