Sammanfattning
A study was undertaken to compare the absenteeism from Swedish day-care centre departments because of illness. Among the 0-2 year olds, absenteeism was higher among those enrolled in groups for young children than among those in extended groups for siblings. For the 0-2-year-olds, the amount of time spent outdoors together with the day-care group was inversely associated with absenteeism.
