[Futuregen] Cohort paper

[Stefan Fors]

Dear comrades,

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).

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.

Anyways, read it and let us know what you think!

All the best,

Stefan
