High psychological distress prevalence ratios for men and women participating in the Partnering Healthy@Work 2010 survey.

1 PR, Prevalence Ratio using inverse probability weighting method.

2General Health is derived from SF12 aggregate physical score.

3Physical activity tertile ranges (minutes per week) 0-146, 147-252, 253-362 – a combination of total work and leisure minutes.

4ERI, Effort-Reward Imbalance tertile ranges: Males = 0.21-0.36 (lower); 0.36 - 0.49 (middle); 0.49 – 2.32 (upper). Females = 0.21 - 0.36 (lower); 0.36 - 0.50 (middle); 0.50 – 2.05 (upper).
