The database began with all individuals born in Sweden from 1940 to 1965 who had neither died nor migrated prior to 1973 or age 15 years (N = 2 821 036). For this population, we included year of their first AUD registration, year of death, and year of emigration. We also included highest level (lifetime) of educational status (≤9 years, 10–11 years, and ≥12 years), sex, and year of birth.
