Career-long exposure to occupational factors among the GAZEL Cohort participants

Occupational exposure	Men	Women
Ever exposed to chemicals (JEM assessment, no missing data)	9,237	77
≥ 2 postural constraints reported in 1989, 1990 or 1994 (estimates from individual data)^a	8,775–10,664	1,781–3,088
Psychosocial constraints reported in 1995, 1997 or 1999 (estimates from individual data)^a	2,892–7,753	1,019–3,410
All types of exposure	1,257–4,016	6–37
No exposure at all	1,080–2,266	1,006–2,814

Postural and psychosocial constraints: estimation from self-reported conditions; for non response (retirees, non respondents of that year) we hypothesized that all were exposed (upper range) or that nobody was exposed (lower range).
