		Estimated value (km)	95% confidence interval (km)	p value
Female (reference: male)		0.68	0.61–0.75	0.0000
Registration year (reference: 1978)	1980	1.19	1.02–1.40	0.0320

	1984	0.87	0.75–1.02	0.0860

	1990	0.74	0.63–0.86	0.0000
	1992	0.73	0.62–0.85	0.0000

We calculated the distance between the initial workplace and place of work 20 years after registration, before the statistical analysis. The last registration year included in the current analysis was 1992 because the most recent data was from 2012. The estimated values in the table were converted from the coefficients analyzed by the generalized linear model
