Education differences in sickness absence and the role of health behaviors: a prospective twin study	2020-11-11		.txt	text/plain	6300	342	47	Random (individual-level) and fixed (within-twin pair) effects regression models were used to measure the associations between educational attainment, health behaviours and sickness absence and to test the effects of possible familial confounding. After adjustment for unobserved familial factors (genetic and environmental factors shared by twin pairs), the associations were strongly attenuated and non-significant, with the exception of health behaviors and sickness absence among men in the older cohort. A population-based study among year olds in Finland, found that lifestyle factors including smoking, physical exercise, sleeping problems, alcohol consumption and obesity altoghether explained about 15% of the educational differences in sickness absence, with a stronger effect among women [10] . The key findings of the present study were that on the population level, educational attainment and health behaviors were prospectively associated with sickness absence among both women and men, as well as older and younger cohorts.	./cache/cord-333299-dmkdsy1r.txt	./txt/cord-333299-dmkdsy1r.txt
