Fig. 3

Shows a forest plot of the OR and 95% CI for personal stressors (independent variables) for each painful region (dependent variables) back (blue), shoulder (red), knee (green) and hip (yellow), adjusted for ergonomic exposures, stress, chronic disease and smoking. The OR indicates the odds for having a VAS pain score = 40 for each region, adjusted for all other variables. Statistically significant differences (p < 0.05) from reference level are apparent when 95% CI does not overlap the dotted line (x = 1). For clarity, reference levels were left out of the figure as well as the underweight category for BMI
