Area A, B, and C; age 38–47 y (n=32) and 48–59 (n=28); employment duration 0 y (n=30), 11–20 (n=9), and 21–29 (n=21); fish, meat, and milk <7 times/week (n=27, 39, 43) and ⩾7 (n=33, 21, 17); Breckman index <400 (n=28) and ⩾400 (n=32); residence <5 km (n=30) and ⩾5 (n=30); BMI <24 kg/m² (n=30) and ⩾24 (n=30).
ANOVA was used for area and employment duration, andt test for the other variables.
