I hope they controlled for hypermobility (and indeed undiagnosed ND!). Very common co-morbidity with ND, and a cause of joint pain during pregnancy. Pregnant women who are (undiagnosed) ND are therefore more likely to take paracetamol.

They didn't arrive between 2021-2024 though, most people eligible for the EUSS arrived before 31 December 2020.

Having your first vote when you've just left home for uni or started your first job you're less likely to turn out and once you've missed a vote you're less likely to vote next time.

There is quite a bit of research that shows that lowering the voting age increases electoral participation. Participating in your first election when still in school the habit is more likely to stick.
