<p>Dear Stefan and Johan, <br>
</p>
<p>Please find attached the paper with a few comments form my side.
It is shaping up very nicely and the flow has improved so much
with the focus on ADL trends and the reduction of results included
in the manuscript. I admit I did not even look through the
supplementary material - it is discouraging once one notices there
are 20 pages of results there! I also did not focus on reducing
words, rather I suggested a few issues that should receive a bit
more attention. Maybe we can first get on paper all the ideas we
think are important and only then do a rewrite to reduce the word
count. I am happy to read carefully through the next version of
the paper and make suggestions for reducing the word count.<br>
</p>
<p>My main comments revolve around making the introduction more
linear, re-organization of the discussion to mirror the order of
ideas in the introduction, and introducing a few references that
can be useful for the study. I also noted some discrepancies with
the figures presented in the text and those in table 1 - please
recheck. <br>
</p>
<p>Let me know if any of my comments are unclear and if I can help
strengthen one or the other argument with additional literature or
data sources. <br>
</p>
<p>Many thanks for what I am sure has been pretty intensive work on
the manuscript. <br>
</p>
<p>My best wishes to all, <br>
</p>
<p>Stefania<br>
</p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Please find enclosed the latest incarnation
of our ‘cohort paper’. I have rewritten the manuscript (with
help from Johan) based on your comments and the comments we
got at the seminar at KI. We have also added a few huge tables
to the supplementary material, that includes all the estimates
that make up the fugures, including confidence intervals – so
the reader don’t have to rely on a visual interpretation of
the data. We have tried to accommodate as many of your
comments as possible, but as we are aiming to submit to
European Journal of Public Health – the space is very limited
(we are now almost 400 words over the limit, so we will have
to do some editing of length as well).<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">In your comments to the previous version,
many of you suggested that we should center the narrative on
the sex gap in disabilities. In the end, we decided to go in
the other direction and focus on the ‘health trend’
perspective (although not omitting the sex gap, of course).
The reason for this is that we felt that it was an easier fit
with the study. We’ve borrowed the analytical model from the
health trends literature – and we have not formally tested the
sex differences – so we felt it was more natural to frame the
paper as a more general health trend study.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Anyways, read it and let us know what you
think!<o:p></o:p></p>
