Lost individual income due to severe health events: life-course perspective in the Northern Finland Birth Cohort 1966.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Severe health events may lead to reduced income among survivors. Importantly, individuals' risks for both severe health events and for lower income are shaped by early life course. Our aim was to consider early-life factors in determining lost individual income after stroke, heart attack and cancer between ages 18 and 50.

Early-life factors were collected since mid-pregnancy until age 16 years and used to match all persons with stroke, heart attack, or cancer (n = 995) with four controls. Registered annual individual income development 15 years before and after the event was compared between cases and propensity score matched controls using time-to-event mixed models, stratified f
