^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. (N number of workers included in the multiple analyses, PR prevalence ratios, 95 % CI = 95 % confidence interval, . = the variable was not included in the multiple model)
