Note. AOR = adjusted odds ratio; CI = confidence interval; OR = odds ratio; RERI = relative excess risk due to interaction.

a

Reference: low work performance impairment.

b

Adjusted for age, gender, and educational status at baseline.

e

Waist circumference ≥ 102 cm for men and ≥ 88 cm for women.

c

Departure from additivity; RERI = OR11−OR10−OR01+1 = 2.57–1.39–1.62+1 = 0.57.

d

Departure from multiplicativity; OR11/(OR10 × OR01) = 2.57/(1.62 × 1.39) = 1.15.

*P < .05.
