Table 2 Final multivariate model of all six themes and 23 items regarding the possibility of working until age 65 in the current occupation and work environmental factors. Outcome for items included in the model and the corresponding odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) obtained from logistic regression. Increased ORs for an item indicate an individual’s decreased possibility of working until age 65 in their current occupation. (* = p < 0.05; ** = p < 0.005)
