 ====== Educational Attainment ======
-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), as follows:
+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.
