Table 3 Associations between the components of work unit level job strain at baseline and non-smoking at follow-up in baseline smokers: adjusted odds ratios (ORs) (95% CIs) from multilevel logistic regression models (nā€Š=ā€Š4928) in the Finnish Public Sector Study, 2000ā€“2005
nOR, (95% CI), adjusted for:
Sex, age, marital status and employer (A)A + baseline heavy drinking, BMI, physical activity (MET) and trait anxiety (B)B + SEP (C)C + individual level job strain/job control/job demands (D)
