-An educational attainment score (low, middle or high) of adult [[cohort|Lifelines]] participants ​was calculated based on their self-reported ​[[education|highest obtained degree]] in [[1A Questionnaire 1]] and [[2A Questionnaire 1]] (i.e. variables degree_highest_adu_q_1/​_a or EDUCATION & EDUCOTHER) ([[sections|section]]:​ [[secondary & linked variables]]). The coding procedures are described below.+An educational attainment score (educational_attainment_adu_c_1 or EA) of 'low''middle' ​or 'high' was calculated for all adult [[cohort|Lifelines]] participants ​who provided an answer to the [[education|highest obtained degree]] ​questions ​in [[1A Questionnaire 1]] and [[2A Questionnaire 1]] (i.e. variables degree_highest_adu_q_1/​_a or EDUCATION & EDUCOTHER) ([[sections|section]]:​ [[secondary & linked variables]]).\\ The coding procedures are described below.
