1 New cases were reported by respondents who had not declared work impairment two years earlier. 2 The reference group is the absence of the particular characteristic. 3 To maximize sample size, the models include a missing values category (odds ratios are not shown for these). 4 Significantly different from the reference group (ref) at less than the 0.05 level. Note: Some odds ratios with lower/upper confidence interval limits of 1.0 were statistically significant before rounding.
