*Models are adjusted for age, gender, living with a partner, having children, migration background, educational attainment, number of months in paid employment before baseline and the presence of an additional chronic disease at baseline.
†Difference in RMST between persons with and without chronic diseases was statistically significantly different among persons with intermediate or high education compared with persons with low education at the 0.05 level.
‡Bold indicates that estimate is statistically significant.
