Population attributable fraction (PAF) and 95% confidence intervals for long working hours versus all other working hour categories in relation to selected outcomes*.
| Disease chapter (in bold) and disease endpoints | PAF% until age 65 |
|---|---|
| Infections | 1·85 (0·65–3·27) |
| Bacterial infections | 2·04 (0·73–3·61) |
| Endocrine diseases | 1·23 (0·19–2·46) |
| Diabetes | 0·91 (0·06–1·90) |
| Diseases of the nervous system | 1·28 (0·44–2·24) |
| Epilepsy | 3·01 (0·26–6.94) |
| Sleep disorders | 1·62 (0·33–3·17) |
| Diseases of the musculoskeletal system | 0·76 (0·28–1·29) |
| Rheumatoid arthritis | 2·66 (0·99–4·71) |
| Sciatica | 3·02 (1·37–5.04) |
| Circulatory and respiratory symptoms | 2·42 (1·04–4·08) |
| Injuries | 1·32 (0·69–2·01) |
| Falls | 1·11 (-0·00–2·44) |
| Cardiovascular death | 3·32 (0·40–7.52) |
Hazard ratios for the calculation of PAF are adjusted for age, sex, socioeconomic status, and cohort.
⁎
Selected diseases were those with statistically significant (p<0·05) association with working ≥55 h/week.
