Note: Multivariate linear regression analysis. Crude (no adjustment) and adjusted model presented. Adjusted model in parentheses controlled for education and age. * p-value adjusted for education and age. a = hot-desking is a not an office type, but a subgroup to the office type flex-office. Reference category (cell office) is marked with underlined text, significances are marked in bold text.
