REGRESSION
Multinomial logistic regression with “chronic stress” as an outcome variable and “age”, “degree of education”, “healthcare utilization”, “social support”, and “QoL” as predictor variables indicated that overall model significance (Medium–low, medium–high, and high stress groups were associated with lower QoL for both psychological health and environment, as well as higher mood disturbances. Furthermore, medium–high and high stress were both associated with woman sex, with high stress being also associated with lower reported physical health QoL. Results and parameter estimates for variables associated with different group memberships are summarized in Table Parameter estimates for significant predictor variables for chronic stress compared to low chronic stress
