Odds of experiencing daily pain and high stress related to dichotomised occupational groups and sex

Variable	Daily pain		High stress
	OR	95% CI	OR	95% CI
ISCO 1–4	1		1
ISCO 5–9	1.53	1.37 to 1.70	1.20	0.98 to 1.46
Male	1		1
Female	1.50	1.35 to 1.66	1.56	1.29 to 1.89
Interaction sex*ISCO	p=0.01		p=0.88
ISCO 1–4
Males	1
Females	1.68	1.47 to 1.92
ISCO 5–9
Males	1
Females	1.27	1.07 to 1.51

Interactions between sex and ISCO groups are included.

Values are presented as ORs and 95% CIs.

Mutually adjusted for occupational industry, sex and age, and weighted for sex, age, occupational industry, highest completed education, family income, family type and origin.

Sex*ISCO interacted for the odds of having daily pain (p=0.01), but not for having high stress (p=0.88). Therefore, an additional analysis, accounting for this interaction, was performed for women versus men within ISCO groupings.
