When the interaction term for demand and control is entered into the model, high demand and moderate control lose significance, while the combined terms for high demand moderate control and moderate demand moderate control are significant in the unadjusted model.
Evaluation of tertile interaction terms for demand and control has similar results, with the combination of high demand and moderate control increasing risk for depression diagnosis.
Demand increased risk, as did moderate control, although moderate control lost significance with adjustment for demographic variables (Table 4).
With adjustment, those with moderate-demand jobs had significantly higher risk of depression diagnosis, and both low and moderate control increased estimates of depression risk, although neither was significant.
Moderate control is generally better.
A higher risk of depression in the interaction model appeared to be driven by high demand and moderate demand moderate control whose estimates indicate elevated risk, although neither is significant.
Biocompatibility tests and moderate controls are essential.
Tertiles were used to code demand and control as high, moderate, or low.
Such agreements were found to be moderate for job control and somewhat lower for job demands and social support [ 26].
In models of the 9-level demand and control interaction term, the high demand moderate control level was associated with greater depression risk (odds ratio = 2.14, 95% CI: 1.24, 3.69); with adjustment for demographic variables, significance was lost.
