n=9434. This table shows the pooled regression coefficients for health symptoms, mental strain and BMI, respectively. All coefficients presented here were controlled for the remaining predictors in the model. For these coefficients, we also show the 100 (1−α)% CIs. Health symptoms, mental strain, BMI, job demands, personal resources and job resources were included as standardised measures. Categorical variables were included as dummy variables.
BMI, body mass index; div., divorced; ref., reference group; wid., widowed.
