  1. Incidence of disease and mortality calculated for all age groups. Leisure and home based production calculated for persons aged 15+ years. Absenteeism and early retirement calculated for persons aged 15–64 years. All estimates uncorrected for potential joint effects of multiple risk factors. Note the result for absenteeism has been updated since in the Full Technical Report this figure had not been discounted and was incorrect (http://www.vichealth.vic.gov.au/~/media/ResourceCentre/PublicationsandResources/Knowledge/Research%20Report_FINAL_July09.ashx, last accessed 13 June 2015)
