Table 2 Linear regression analysis with commuting as independent variable, short commute (<20 min) as reference (n = 1133), adjusted for age, gender, marital status, and shiftwork
From: Daily commuting to work is not associated with variables of health
Middle commute (n = 1970) 20–44.9 min | Long commute (n = 363) 45–59.9 min | Very long commute (n = 339) ≥60 min | |
