Journal ArticleDOI
Physical and cognitive function in midlife: reciprocal effects? A 5-year follow-up of the Whitehall II study
Marko Elovainio,Mika Kivimäki,Mika Kivimäki,Jane E. Ferrie,David Gimeno,R De Vogli,Marianna Virtanen,Jussi Vahtera,Eric J. Brunner,Michael Marmot,Archana Singh-Manoux +10 more
TL;DR: Findings suggest that, in middle age, the direction of the association between physical and cognitive performance is predominantly from poor cognition to poor physical function.
Journal ArticleDOI

Anne Kouvonen,Jussi Vahtera,Ari Väänänen,R De Vogli,Tarja Heponiemi,Marko Elovainio,Marianna Virtanen,Tuula Oksanen,Sara Jane Cox,Jaana Pentti,Mika Kivimäki +10 more
TL;DR: Smoking cessation may be less likely in workplaces with high strain and low control, although policies and programs addressing employee job strain and control might also contribute to the effectiveness of smoking cessation interventions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Differential Associations of Job Control Components With Mortality: A Cohort Study, 1986–2005
Matti Joensuu,Mika Kivimäki,Aki Koskinen,Anne Kouvonen,Laura Pulkki-Råback,Jussi Vahtera,Marianna Virtanen,Ari Väänänen +7 more
TL;DR: The results suggest that job control is not an unequivocal concept in relation to mortality; decision authority and skill discretion show different and to some extent opposite associations.
Journal ArticleDOI
Does adding information on job strain improve risk prediction for coronary heart disease beyond the standard Framingham risk score? The Whitehall II study
Mika Kivimäki,Solja T. Nyberg,G. David Batty,Martin J. Shipley,Jane E. Ferrie,Marianna Virtanen,Michael Marmot,Jussi Vahtera,Archana Singh-Manoux,Mark Hamer +9 more
TL;DR: In this middle-aged low-risk working population, job strain was associated with an increased risk of CHD, however, when compared with the Framingham algorithm, adding job strain did not improve the model's predictive performance.
Journal ArticleDOI
Association of pupil vandalism, bullying and truancy with teachers' absence due to illness: a multilevel analysis.
Jenni Ervasti,Mika Kivimäki,Mika Kivimäki,Mika Kivimäki,Riikka Puusniekka,Pauliina Luopa,Jaana Pentti,Sakari Suominen,Jussi Vahtera,Jussi Vahtera,Marianna Virtanen +10 more
TL;DR: There seems to be a link between pupils' problem behaviour and teachers' short-term absence due to illness, and further work should determine whether problem behaviour is a cause or a consequence of absences or whether the association is noncausal.
