The coding for the sex variable was male = 0 and female = 1. The coding for the blood donor status was not donated blood = 0 and donated blood = 1. For continuous variables, the descriptive statistics refers to the variable’s mean (M) and standard deviation (SD). For categorical variables, the descriptive statistics refer to the number and percentage of people within each category (percentages for gender do not include missing data).
