Dear Stefan and Johan,

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.

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.

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.

Many thanks for what I am sure has been pretty intensive work on the manuscript.

My best wishes to all,

Stefania

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
