Time trends in cluster profiles of psychosomatic problems, self-rated poor health, and low life satisfaction from 2002 to 2022 among adolescents in five Nordic countries
The cluster profiles reveal different trends of poor health status among adolescents over time, increases and decreases, with sex being a significant factor. The increase in poor health status over the last two decades appears concentrated in psychosomatic symptoms, possibly reflecting an increase in everyday stressors during the survey period or increased sensitivity to these stressors.
