Notes: The estimates come from 36 different models that adjust for all control variables. Numbers within parentheses are 95% confidence intervals.
For Ceded Karelians, being born in 1937–1944 means that you were at most seven years old at the time of forced migration, whereas those born in 1927–1936 were older child migrants.
Estimates for the two birth-cohort groups are statistically different (at the 5% level) only in the cases of ʻmen, ischemic heart disease, born in Eastern Finlandʼ, ʻmen, ischemic heart disease, born in rest of Finlandʼ, and ʻwomen, disability pension, born in rest of Finlandʼ.
