We calculated the impact on educational inequalities in DFLE of equalizing the distribution of eight risk factors for mortality and disability using register-based mortality data and survey data from 15 European countries for individuals between 35 and 80 years old. From the selected risk factors, the ones that contribute the most to the educational inequalities in DFLE are low income, high body-weight, smoking (for men), and manual occupation of the father. Potentially large reductions in inequalities can be achieved in Eastern European countries, where educational inequalities in DFLE are also the largest.}, keywords = {Bildungsungleichheit; educational inequality; Behinderung; disability; Lebenserwartung; life expectancy; Europa; Europe; Risiko; risk; sozioökonomische Faktoren; socioeconomic factors; Sterblichkeit; mortality}}
