*p < 0.05; **p < 0.01; *** p < 0.001. Intensive caregiving defined as more than 20 h of care per week. Full linear models include age categories and age categories interacted with post-onset, gender, foreign-born, family composition (children), household size, urban, education (ISCED), income and income interacted with post-onset, employment and employment interacted with post-onset
