- Abstract
An association between childhood cognitive ability measured with IQ tests and mortality has been reported recently. It is not clear from those studies if the relative risk is increased only among those in the lower end of the IQ score scale or if there is graded increase in mortality from the lowest to the highest. This study aims to investigate the association between cognitive ability measured at age 18-20 and mortality during a 30 year period of follow-up.
