Setting

Sweden.

Participants

All 1 283 516 privately employed white-collar workers in Sweden in 2012 aged 18-67.

Methods

Sequence analysis was used to describe clusters of individuals who followed similar development of SA and DP net days/year, and multinomial logistic regression to analyse associations between sociodemographic variables and belonging to each observed cluster of sequences. Odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were adjusted for baseline sociodemographics.
