Table 6. Standardized partial regression coefficients (SPRCs) of the Effort–Reward Imbalance (ERI) model indicators on area under the curve with respect to ground (AUCG) for daytime salivary cortisol, dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA), and cortisol-to-DHEA molar ratio (C/D ratio).

  ERI model indicator (independent variables)
  Effort score Reward score E/R ratio OC score
AUCG (dependent variable) SPRC P SPRC P SPRC P SPRC P
Cortisol −0.159 0.151 0.019 0.848 −0.112 0.304 −0.128 0.214
DHEA −0.061 0.528 −0.002 0.978 −0.041 0.668 −0.049 0.585
C/D ratio −0.095 0.380 0.038 0.699 −0.078 0.460 −0.080 0.428

E/R ratio: effort-to-reward ratio; OC: overcommitment to work. AUCGs were calculated using salivary hormone levels at 9:00, 12:00, and 15:00. SPRCs and P-values were computed with multiple regression analysis, in which age, employment status, current smoking, menstruation irregularity, ovulatory phase, musculoskeletal symptoms, dental and gum diseases, and other health problems were adjusted.
