Hazard ratios and 95% CIs of deaths in relation to job physical activity at baseline during 10 years of follow up

Job physical activity*
Cause1 (1–8)2 (9–12)3 (13–16)4 (17–19)p Value for trend†
*Job physical activity (expressed as job physical activity class, accumulated scores from low to high occupational physical activity) was divided into four equally sized groups.
†p Value for trend from Cox proportional hazard model with job physical activity as a ordinal variable (1, 2, 3, or 4 for four groups from low to high occupational physical activity).
‡Adjusted for total leisure activity (logarithmic scale), employment status (employed versus unemployed or retired) and variables listed in footnote in table 3.
