Variable	P-value	βa	95% Confidence Interval
Be a group leader or laboratory head	<0.001	−0.82	1.74–5.95

Total sample size: n=386, of which 198 were women and 188 were men.

Legend: Multiple regression analyses were adjusted for age and career interruption, with exception of ∗∗ which was only adjusted by age.

Abbreviation: CVD, cardiovascular disease.

^apositive β indicates men were more likely and negative β indicates women were more likely (i.e. β = −0.82 indicates that women were less likely to be a group leader or laboratory head), P-value for gender.
