“Any condition” denotes a dichotomous variable equal to one if the individual was affected by any of the health conditions and zero otherwise. All models includes birth-year and department fixed effects, indicator variables for whether the individual lives with a spouse, achieved higher education, has been born preterm, lived on a farm for more than 3 months during childhood and whether the individual or her father is of high socioeconomic status, the age of the individual’s mother and father at her birth, the number of siblings, the level of physical and mental stress experienced at work, an index of deprivation for the individual’s current area of residence and history of disease in the family.
