  1. aThe cardiovascular, musculoskeletal, and mental disorder variables are based on sick-leave (MiDAS) and in- and out-patient ICD-10 diagnoses (PAR); M00-M99, I00-I99 and F00-F99, and the following ATC-codes (PDR); M01-M09, C01-C10 and N05-N06. Exposure variables and cohabiting status are modeled as time-dependent covariates. The models are also adjusted for gender, age, educational level, country of birth, type of living area, and geographic region.
  2. All estimates are supplemented with 95% confidence intervals (95% CI).
