Education and occupation were modelled separately. All models are adjusted for age and sex.
Significant results (p<0.05) are highlighted in bold.
*Education=age in years when finished/stopped full-time education: low (reference)≤15 years, mid=16–19 years, high≥20 years.
†Occupation=occupational classes: manual (reference), non-manual, other (including not gainfully employed).
‡The analyses for 1987–1995 do not include Austria, Finland and Sweden, as data for these countries were only available from 1995 onwards.
