* Mean values (SD). Abbreviations: BMI: Body Mass Index; HRQoL: Health-Related Quality of Life; SD: Standard Deviation. § Grouping variable = (HealthTODAY/100) + (EQ5D5Lindexvalue). The cut-off percentiles were as follows: low HRQoL: ≤1.8570; high HRQoL: ≥1.8571. ‡ Differences in prevalence across groups were examined using χ2 and Student’s t-test.
