In models 1–3, the prognostic variable was analyzed separately with adjustment for the following.
Model 1: age, gender, marital status, and occupational position.
Model 2: model 1 and global symptom index.
Model 3: model 2 and life events.
Model 4: all four prognostic variables forced into the model adjusted for age, gender, occupational position, global symptom index, marital status, and life event last year.
