Additional file 2: Table S2. Adjusted linear regressions on pulse pressure (mmHg) as a function of heavy occupational lifting, without and with stratification by age and use of anti-hypertensives. [CI=Confidence interval]. The reference was no exposure to heavy occupational lifting. Significant associations are highlighted in bold.

Additional file 8: Table S8. Adjusted odds ratios of being hypertensive (in the cross-sectional model) and for becoming a SBP or DBP case (defined as an above-median delta value of BP at follow-up – BP at baseline and/or a shift from no use to use of anti-hypertensives (in the prospective model)) as a function of self-rated exposure to heavy occupational lifting, stratified by level of leisure-time physical activity. No exposure to heavy occupational lifting was the reference category. [OR = Odds ratio; CI=Confidence interval]. Significant OR are highlighted in bold.

Additional file 9: Table S9. Adjusted linear regressions on systolic blood pressure (SBP) as a function of heavy occupational lifting stratified level of leisure-time physical activity. Significant associations are highlighted in bold.

Additional file 7: Table S7.Adjusted mean of SBP and DBP, at follow-up, in groups stratified by OPA with or without occupational lifting combined by LTPA and with or without the use of anti-hypertensives.

Additional file 5: Table S5. Cross-sectional odd ratios (OR) for being hypertensive by exposure to heavy occupational lifting, when hypertension is defined at different cutpoints. The reference was no exposure to heavy occupational lifting.

Additional file 4: Table S4. Adjusted associations between self-reported heavy occupational lifting and systolic blood pressure (mmHg), stratified by level of occupational physical activity. [β = Difference in mmHg; CI = Confidence interval; Ref. = Reference group].

Additional file 1 Table S1. Adjusted linear regressions on diastolic BP (mmHg) as a function of heavy occupational lifting, without and with stratification by age and use of anti-hypertensives. [CI=Confidence interval]. The reference was no exposure to heavy occupational lifting. Significant associations are highlighted in bold.

Additional file 6: Table S6. Adjusted baseline means of SBP and DBP in groups stratified by OPA with or without occupational lifting combined by LTPA and with or without the use of anti-hypertensives.
