^aMultiple model with no confounders. ^bMultiple model with two confounders: high work demands and educational level. ^cMultiple model for the subsample with no confounders. ^dMultiple model for the subsample with one confounder: educational level. ^eVariable included only to adjust the multiple model. ^fThe bold figures representing p-values < 0.05. (N = number of workers included in the multiple analyses, . = the variable was not included in the multiple model)
