The study population is based on a random sample of schools with 20,444 participants aged 11\u201315 years. The trends were analysed with a Mantel\u2013Haenszel test, and the strength of the associations was evaluated by mixed-effects logistic and linear regressions.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>An increasing prevalence in frequent loneliness (2006: 11%; 2018: 15%) was evident over the 12-year study period, especially in girls and 15-year-olds. Among all adolescents, loneliness was associated with a higher risk of recurrent health complaints and medicine use to treat the corresponding health issues, especially nervousness (odds ratio 5.8) and sleeping difficulties (odds ratio 7.6).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Adolescence is a period of higher risk of frequent loneliness and associated health complaints. In this study, loneliness was common among adolescence and an increasing trend of loneliness was observed between 2006 and 2018. Also, psychosomatic health complaints and medicine use were strongly associated with loneliness. Persistent loneliness is a significant health risk and failure to resolve loneliness before entering adulthood may imply significant concerns for future well-being.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1177\/14034948221117970","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,8,26]],"date-time":"2022-08-26T01:08:05Z","timestamp":1661476085000},"page":"1097-1104","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":39,"title":["Loneliness, subjective health complaints, and medicine use among Finnish adolescents 2006\u20132018"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"50","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6138-3605","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Nelli","family":"Lyyra","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Sport and Health Sciences, University of Jyv\u00e4skyl\u00e4, Jyv\u00e4skyl\u00e4, Finland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Niina","family":"Junttila","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Teacher Education, University of Turku, Turku, Finland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jorma","family":"Tynj\u00e4l\u00e4","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Sport and Health Sciences, University of Jyv\u00e4skyl\u00e4, Jyv\u00e4skyl\u00e4, Finland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jari","family":"Villberg","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Sport and Health Sciences, University of Jyv\u00e4skyl\u00e4, Jyv\u00e4skyl\u00e4, Finland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7487-5809","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Raili","family":"V\u00e4limaa","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Sport and Health Sciences, University of Jyv\u00e4skyl\u00e4, Jyv\u00e4skyl\u00e4, Finland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,8,25]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-14034948221117970","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.puhe.2017.07.035"},{"key":"bibr2-14034948221117970","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/00223980.2011.589414"},{"key":"bibr3-14034948221117970","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/fare.12398"},{"key":"bibr4-14034948221117970","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.adolescence.2013.06.003"},{"key":"bibr5-14034948221117970","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.adolescence.2013.05.004"},{"key":"bibr6-14034948221117970","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.adolescence.2013.01.005"},{"key":"bibr7-14034948221117970","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/camh.12358"},{"key":"bibr8-14034948221117970","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/1745691615570616"},{"key":"bibr9-14034948221117970","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/1403494817743901"},{"key":"bibr10-14034948221117970","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.adolescence.2012.12.009"},{"key":"bibr11-14034948221117970","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/eurpub\/11.1.4"},{"key":"bibr12-14034948221117970","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1371\/journal.pone.0188374"},{"key":"bibr13-14034948221117970","volume-title":"Spotlight on adolescent health and well-being.
