Highlights
The establishment of life course cohorts has been an advancement in the study of social inequalities of health [1,2]
To study the association between parental disability in childhood and adolescence, and subsequent outcomes related to health and social function in young adult age, we examined data from several population based national registers in Norway
We examined gender-specific distributions, by category of parental disability, of level of educational attainment, intellectual performance level, pensionable income at age 30, and number of sickness absence spells

Both British [3] and Scandinavian studies [6,7,8,9,10,11] have examined the impact of childhood experience on disability later in life, applying both longitudinal [3,6] and cross-sectional [7,8,9,10,11] designs
