- Missing values in the occupational category (OC), income (I), and diagnosis group (DG): N (%) in the early cohort (low stable—OC: 32 (1.37); I: 2 (0.09); DG: 1 (0.04); increasing—OC: 3 (1.90); high stable—OC: 2 (1.12)); middle cohort (low stable—OC: 42 (1.80); I: 1 (0.04); DG: 5 (0.21); decreasing—OC: 8 (3.11); I: 1 (0.39)); and late cohort (low stable—OC: 43 (2.52); I: 1 (0.06); DG: 1 (0.06); decreasing—OC: 2 (2.02); increasing—OC: 6 (3.14)) by sickness absence trajectory in the period 2012–2014. Income in quartiles based on the average monthly income in the early cohort (high: 5063€; middle-high: 1940€; middle-low: 1337€; low: 886€), middle cohort (high: 5315€; middle-high: 2127€; middle-low: 1403€; low: 893€), and late cohort (high: 5577€; middle-high: 2151€; middle-low: 1386€; low: 856€). aChi-squared tests. bFisher’s exact tests.
