Logistic regression analyses: associations between indicators of effort-reward imbalance and myocardial infarction (men and women aged 45–64 years) (multivariate odds ratios (95% CI), number of exposed)
| Men | Women | |
|---|---|---|
| *Adjusted for effort-reward-ratio or overcommitment respectively and hypertension, total cholesterol, diabetes, family history of CHD; †additionally adjusted for cigarette smoking (never/former/current), BMI ≥27, lack of physical exercise (<2/week). | ||
| Effort-reward ratio (>1) (extrinsic model component) | ||
| adjustment* | 1.41 (1.05 to 1.89) n=250 | 0.92 (0.53 to 1.61) n=74 |
| adjustment† | 1.58 (1.16 to 2.15) n=247 | 0.73 (0.40 to 1.33) n=74 |
| Overcommitment (upper tertile) (intrinsic model component) | ||
| adjustment* | 1.23 (0.96 to 1.59) n=392 | 1.68 (1.07 to 2.62) n=135 |
