Table 3 Results of the Cox proportional hazards models adjusted for potential confounders age, sex, smoking, job type and occupational carrying/lifting duration (analyses of work steps are also adjusted for leisure steps and analyses of leisure steps are adjusted for work steps) with Hazard Ratios (HR) of risk of long-term sickness absence and 95% Confidence interval (CI) per 1,000 steps at work, steps during leisure or total daily steps respectively (n = 926)
