HRs with 95% CIs based on robust SEs. Observations n=45 926. Average relative variance increase=0.01. χ² test (1 degree of freedom) used to assess whether moderation is significant (critical value (p<0.05)=3.841). Models adjusted for gender, occupational grade level, still in civil service, educational level, partner’s employment status, depressive symptoms. Interactions between working conditions and chronic disease included in separate models; other working conditions included as covariates.
Bold values: p<0.05.
