The binary variables for occupational factors were constructed using the median of the distribution among the whole sample.
Weighted logistic regression models.
Covariates: gender, age, occupation, marital status, having a child under 3 y, social support outside work and stressful life events.
†Each occupational factor studied separately ††All occupational factors studied simultaneously.
Bold OR: significant at 5%.
Wald test: ***p < 0.001, **p < 0.01, *p < 0.05.
