    • Cohort Profile: The Finnish Health in Teens (Fin-HIT) study: A population-based study 

      Figueiredo, Rejane Augusta de Oliveira; Simola-Ström, Sabina; Rounge, Trine Ballestad; Viljakainen, Heli; Eriksson, Johan G.; Roos, Eva; Weiderpass, Elisabete (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-09-12)
      The prevalence of overweight and obesity in children and adolescents is increasing globally. In high-income countries, the prevalence of obesity has plateaued, although the rate is still high. Children with overweight and obesity are likely to stay obese into adulthood and tend to develop certain diseases, such as pulmonary, cardiovascular and metabolic diseases, more frequently and at a younger ...

    • The Composition and Functional Capacities of Saliva Microbiota Differ Between Children With Low and High Sweet Treat Consumption 

      Lommi, Sohvi; Manzoor, Muhammed; Engberg, Elina; Agrawal, Nitin; Lakka, Timo A; Leinonen, Jukka; Kolho, Kaija Leena; Viljakainen, Heli (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-04-25)
      Excess sugar consumption—common in youth—is associated with poor health. Evidence on the relationship between sugar consumption and the oral microbiome, however, remains scarce and inconclusive. We explored whether the diversity, composition, and functional capacities of saliva microbiota differ based on the consumption of select sugary foods and drinks (“sweet treats”). Using 16S rRNA gene sequencing, ...

    • Saliva microbiota differs between children with low and high sedentary screen times 

      Engberg, Elina; Raju, Sajan; Figueiredo, Rejane A.O.; Weiderpass, Elisabete; Rounge, Trine Ballestad; Viljakainen, Heli (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-04-20)
      This study examined whether the diversity, composition and functional capacity of the saliva microbiota differed between children with low and high sedentary screen times. We analyzed the saliva microbiota using 16S rRNA (V3–V4) sequencing from 193 children with low and 183 children with high TV/screen viewing times while sitting. Microbiota diversity was higher among children with low screen ...
