*PAD and no PAD groups differ within region, p < .05.
Adjusted means represent the predicted value for the outcome (separately for patients with PAD and age-matched patients without PAD), assuming all covariates are set at the sample mean. Covariates included gender, education level, BMI, smoking, drinking and exercise status, and comorbid conditions.
Absenteeism, presenteeism, and overall work impairment were only asked among those who were currently employed.
