Rate ratios of sickness absence and odds ratios of psychological distress and poor self rated health by levels of psychosocial factors in adjusted models (95% CI in parentheses); in all cases the rate/odds ratio for reference was 1.00
| Medically certified sickness absence | Minor psychiatric morbidity | Poor self rated health status | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Model 1* | Model 2† | Model 1* | Model 2† | Model 1* | Model 2† | |

| *Adjusted for age, sex, income, health indicator at baseline, and behavioural and biological risk factors (current smoking, high alcohol consumption, sedentary lifestyle, and obesity). | ||||||
| †Additionally adjusted for those psychosocial factors that were found to be significant predictors of health in model 1 (e.g., in relation to sickness absence, procedural justice is adjusted for demographics, sickness absence at baseline, behavioural and biological factors, relational justice, decision authority, skill discretion, workload, and hostility). | ||||||
