Note: Model 1 is a binary logistic regression model with visual rating scale scores as the dependent variable (normal vs abnormal) and both sex (variable of interest) and age (control variable) as the independent variables. For the MTA scale, the model included age‐adjusted score as the dependent variable (normal vs abnormal) and sex (variable of interest). Model 2 is a binary logistic regression model with visual rating scale scores as the dependent variable (normal vs abnormal) and the interaction between sex and age (variable of interest), together with sex and age as the independent variables. For visual rating scales, values “0” and “1” correspond to “normal” and “abnormal” scores according to established cutoffs. For sex, values “0” and “1” correspond to male and female sex, respectively. Statistically significant effects are shown in bold (P ≤ 0.05).
