  1. PFL = two and more difficulties in physical abilities from upper limb, lower limb or spine problems.
  2. Order: order that factors were entered into the logistic regression model using an ascending stepwise procedure.
  3. OR: Odds Ratio.
  4. CI 95%: Confidence Interval 95%.
  5. Adjusted for age, physical factors (awkward work, precise, repetitive work, non-standard hours), psychosocial factors (high decision latitude, psychological pressure, having means), sporting activities, emotional reactions.
  6. //: Factors not selected by the model.
