Table 4 Results of the crude and adjusted Cox proportional hazard models with Hazard Ratios (HR) of long-term sickness absence with 95% Confidence intervals (CI) per 1,000 steps at work, during leisure or total daily steps, respectively among the participants who had not experienced a pre-event of long-term sickness absence in the 12 month prior to baseline (n = 885)

  1. HR Hazard Ratio. CI = 95% Confidence interval. Crude model (no adjustment)
  2. Model 1: Adjusted for sex and age. Model 2: Adjusted for age, sex, smoking and job type + analyses of work steps are adjusted for leisure steps and the analyses of leisure steps are also adjusted for work steps
