Note: All models are based on multilevel models (individuals nested in health examination centre, adjusted for age, age square, partnership situation and education) (complete case analyses). Model 1 is calculated for each career characteristic separately (separate models). Model 2 includes all career characteristics simultaneously (simultaneous model).
Respondents who retired or had a health-related career interruption prior to age 45 are excluded from the analyses.
AL, allostatic load; AME, average marginal effect; ref., reference.
