“…One possible explanation for this might be that girls are expected to do more household chores, have less leisure time, and have restricted freedom compared to boys. In addition, our results indicated that boys had higher scores for delinquent behavior, which is also similar to earlier findings (Helstelä & Sourander, ; Janssen et al ., ; Kapi et al ., ). It is possible that boys' social networks influenced their answers.…”

In this study, the prevalence of self-reported emotional/behavioral problems and the association of problem scales scores with demographic factors among 12-18 year old adolescents (n = 408) selected from urban and rural areas of the Western Developmental Region of Nepal, are discussed. The emotional/behavioral problems were assessed by the Youth Self-Report questionnaire. Girls had higher scores than boys for anxiety/ depression, while boys had higher scores for delinquent behavior. Adolescents from the urban area exhibited significantly higher scores on most of the problem scales. With the exception of somatic complaints, all problem scale scores appeared to increase with age. Most of the Youth Self-Report scales revealed adequate internal consistencies. These findings might provide preliminary information on adolescents' emotional/ behavioral problems. However, a detailed and comprehensive study is needed before an effective interventional program can be implemented. Further investigation, particularly taking into account the views of parents and teachers, is also needed, as this would provide novel perspectives on adolescents' problems.

“…34,35 Also, low response rates with increasing child age are reported. 34,57 A higher proportion of parents of very preterm infants tend to have lower SES than average. We did not have sufficient information at the time of preterm delivery to explore whether parents' SES may have been different between responders and nonresponders.…”

From parents' point of view, significant proportions of very low birth weight adolescents experience more emotional and behavioral problems and less competence than normative adolescents. In contrast, very low birth weight adolescents state less problems and similar or higher competence than normative adolescents. Very low birth weight adolescent girls report more emotional and behavioral problems compared with their parents than very low birth weight adolescent boys do. Externalizing problems in very low birth weight adolescent girls are often not recognized by parents. To better understand these seemingly paradoxical findings and to develop adequate intervention programs, there is a need for prospective longitudinal studies.

“…Otherwise, the missing values were replaced by the mean value of other answered items of the particular subscale. The Finnish version of the YSR has been standardized (Helstelä and Sourander, 2001), and initial support for the generalizability of the YSR syndromes in various societies, including Finland, has been provided (Ivanova et al, 2007).…”

Musculoskeletal pain in multiple sites is common already in adolescence, and may lead to subsequent musculoskeletal complaints in adulthood. We examined predictive factors for the persistence of multiple musculoskeletal pains in adolescence over a 2-year time span. A postal questionnaire was administered to a subsample of the Northern Finland Birth Cohort 1986 (n=1773) when subjects were aged 16 and 18. The adjusted odds ratios (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) for the possible risk factors of new-onset of multiple pains at 18 years and 2-year persistence of multiple pains were obtained using multinomial logistic regression. Multiple musculoskeletal pains were common; 43% of boys and 63% of girls at 16, and 61% of boys and 81% of girls at 18 reported pain in more than one site during the last 6 months. Moreover, multiple pains had a high persistence rate, as 75% of boys and 88% of girls with multiple pains at 16 reported multiple pains also at 18. In the multivariate analysis, emotional and behavioral problems (internalizing problems, OR 2.3; externalizing problems, OR 2.2), and high sitting time (OR 1.6) among boys, and internalizing problems (OR 3.7), high physical activity level (OR 1.6), short sleeping time (OR 1.7), and smoking (OR 1.9) among girls were predictive factors for the persistence of multiple pains. No statistically significant associations between the baseline variables and new-onset multiple pains were found. Multiple musculoskeletal pains appear to have a high tendency to persist in adolescence; both psychosocial factors and lifestyle factors contribute to this vulnerability.
