  1. The frequency variables for occupational factors were based on the initial coding for the factors with one item or quartiles for the factors with more than one item.
  2. Weighted logistic regression models.
  3. Covariates: gender, age, occupation, marital status, having a child under 3 y, social support outside work and stressful life events.
  4. †Each occupational factor studied separately. ‡All occupational factors studied simultaneously.
  5. OR associated with an increase of 1 unit of frequency variable.
  6. Bold OR: significant at 5%.
  7. Trend test: ***p < 0.001, **p < 0.01, *p < 0.05.
