Adjusted model is adjusted for both sex and birth year. Odds ratios (95% confidence intervals) of geographic mobility as a function of attained educational level and PGSEdu stratified by total sample, cohort and sex. Statistically significant estimates are presented in bold. Independent model contains either Education or PGSEdu as predictor of geographic mobility. Joint effect models contains both Education and PGSEdu as predictors of geographic mobility. PGSEdu Polygenic score for education.
