Education and Health | EPICSS
Health inequalities may originate in children’s conditions and characteristics, which impact on performance in school and educational attainment. The overall aim of the project is to contribute to an increased understanding of the associations between education and health outcomes across life.
We use multiple nationally representative cohorts of men and women in Sweden born from 1948 and onwards. We are able to follow several end-point measures of health of major public health importance, e.g. cardiovascular diseases, psychiatric disorders, injuries, alcohol-related morbidity, sickness absence, and overall risk of premature death.
