Crude mean change and adjusted mean difference in change* (95% confidence intervals) in mental and physical functioning by civil service employment grade
| Grade I (high) | Grade II (medium) | Grade III (low) | |
|---|---|---|---|
| *Adjusted mean difference in change in functioning (reference group is employed grade I civil servants who worked at baseline and at follow up = 0), adjusting for age in single years, sex, duration of follow up, and baseline functioning. One participant was excluded because of missing information on grade. Men and women are combined for these analysis, as the pattern of results by sex is very similar. | |||
