In addition, we examined whether gender or age moderated these potential differences.\n                    <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">Methods<\/jats:italic>\n                    : Cross-sectional survey data were compiled on 1422 female and 948 male randomly selected physicians aged 25\u201365 years from The Finnish Health Care Professionals Study. Logistic regression and linear regression analyses were used with adjustment for gender, age, specialisation status, working time, managerial position, and on-call duty.\n                    <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">Results<\/jats:italic>\n                    : Occupational hazards, physical violence, and presenteeism were more commonly reported by physicians working in the public sector than by their counterparts in the private sector. Among physicians aged 50 years or younger, those who worked in the public sector consumed more alcohol than those who worked in the private sector, whereas in those aged 50 or more the reverse was true. In addition, working in the private sector was most strongly associated with lower levels of physical violence in those who were older than 50 years, and with lower levels of presenteeism among those aged 40\u201350 years.\n                    <jats:bold>\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">Conclusions<\/jats:italic>\n                      : The present study found evidence for the public sector being a more strenuous work environment for physicians than the private sector.
