Table 2.
Logistic regression of associations between the risk of medically certified sickness absence during the previous 24 months as predictor variable and workplace bullying as outcome variable, adjusted for age, gender, and previous exposure to bullying (N = 3,674).
| Predictor variables | Risk of bullying follow-up | |
|---|---|---|
| OR | 95% CI | |
| Gender (reference: male) | 0.75 | 0.53–1.05 |
| Age | 1.00 | 1.00–1.00 |
| Bullied at baseline (reference: no) | 29.76*** | 21.00–42.17 |
| Prior sickness absence (reference: no absence): | ||
| 1–7 days of absence | 1.10 | 0.61–1.97 |
| 8–14 days of absence | 0.86 | 0.44–1.68 |
| 15–21 days of absence | 1.21 | 0.60–2.46 |
| More than 21 days of absence | 1.86*** | 1.28–2.72 |
