“…The results from the NordChild study have been widely published in scientific journals, as summary reports and as doctoral theses. [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9] The general results from these studies confirmed the good health, the high living standard and the excellent prerequisites for a proper quality of life among Nordic children. [3,5,10,11] However, the results also showed an increase of long term illness (LTI) in children aged 2-17 years from 7.9% in 1984 to 14.6% in 1996 [6] and to 17.8% in 2011.…”

Factors that have led to the increasing prevalence of back pain amongst children and adolescents living in industrialized nations are mostly unknown. The following literature review was aimed at determining the risk factors for back pain amongst children and adolescents. We searched both PUBMED and MEDLINE between the years 1985 and 2003 for the keywords "children or adolescents" and "back pain". Only data published in original articles were used. The risk for suffering back pain is influenced by physical, behavioural, emotional and social factors. The effects of physical activity, sitting, muscle status, weight of schoolbags, exercise, television and computer use, as well as age and gender on the development of back pain in children and adolescents were examined. Associations between continuous or recurring back pain and psychosocial factors (lifestyle, emotional factors, social relationships) could be demonstrated. There was no relationship between changes of the spine seen by radiological tests and the development of chronic back pain. Longitudinal epidemiological studies are urgently needed to delineate the risk factors for the development as well as the natural history of chronic back pain in the young.

“…There are fewer studies looking at this specific population, adolescents are most often grouped in with either children or adults. However, the studies that have subanalyses of adolescents or focus exclusively on adolescents have noted an overall decline in HRQL among adolescents along with a more negative perspective of their HRQL [6][7][8] . Compared to all other age groups, adolescents have been found to have notable differences in physical maturation, body image, peer relationships, intimacy, sexuality, and autonomy [9] .…”

Systematic Review of Health-Related Quality of Life in Adolescents with Psoriasis

Background: Many cases of psoriasis begin in adolescence. The affected adolescents face the combined physical and psychosocial challenges of their disease-free peers with the added complexity of a visible disease. Objective: To review the impact of psoriasis on the health-related quality of life (HRQL) in adolescents as compared to their peers with other chronic diseases and to determine the best tools to measure HRQL in this population. Methods: A systematic literature review was completed using PubMed. Results: 256 publications were screened for inclusion, 37 were relevant to objectives and included in the systematic review. Most studies are pediatric psoriasis studies with an adolescent subgroup, very few are dedicated to solely addressing HRQL in adolescents with psoriasis. Adolescents with psoriasis face both the challenges similar to an adult psoriasis population in addition to the complexities inherent to healthy adolescents. Studies often use a general pediatric HRQL measure, PedsQL 4.0, or a dermatology-specific measure adapted from an adult questionnaire. Only one psoriasis-specific measurement tool exists, and it is specifically for scalp psoriasis. Conclusion: Both dermatologists and primary care physicians should treat the visible cutaneous lesions and disease comorbidities and address the psychosocial impact of psoriasis in their adolescent patients. Use of both a general and dermatology-specific HRQL questionnaire may allow physicians to better identify the impact of the disease and recognize improvement or impairment over time.

Quality of life among children aged 2-17 years in the five Nordic countries: Comparison between 1984 and 1996

Abstract: Nordic children still enjoy a high standard of living in spite of economic constraints, and the prerequisites for a high QoL are fulfilled. Further research is suggested for clarifying the complex background of these results.
