*Estimated risk difference in the 6-year risk for long-term sickness and disability with the covariates at their mean.
Risk difference (in %, with 95% CI) and odds ratio (with 95% CI) in the whole population (logistic regression models, N=6612) and within the families (sibling fixed-effect models, N=316).
Model 0: adjusted for sex, age, and follow-up time.
Model 1: model 0 +adjusted for maternal education level.
Model 2: model 1 + adjusted for somatic disease, symptom load, psychological distress, concentration problems, insomnia, and self-rated health.
Model 3: model 2 + adjusted for overweight, smoking, and physical activity.
Model 4: model 3 + adjusted for self-esteem, subjective well-being, loneliness, and family living situation.
Model 5: model 4 + adjusted for reading and writing difficulties, bullying, disease-related school absence, educational aspirations, academic problems, school dissatisfaction, and school-related conduct.
1In the Within-family models the covariate maternal education level is omitted.
