I don't speak Swedish, so I had to translate it (the site I found the link from[0] after Googling seems like it has an axe to grind).
They indicate that, of ~2400 refugees where the National Medical Board rendered an opinion, some ~2000 were estimated to be eighteen years of age or older, with ~400 estimated to be under eighteen years of age (so ~5/6).
This may be different from the patterns in general because these are cases where the board was asked for and subsequently rendered an opinion.
It might be that (contra the headlines) this sort of misrepresentation is relatively rare, and the rate for the subset of the population where no questions were raised is substantially lower.
