DHEAS levels and factors associated on the whole sample and for each gender. Coefficient of regression (β is presented with its 95% confidence interval). NE, variable not entered in the model (P > 0.05). Three variables (life satisfaction, mobility, number of medications) did not reach statistical significance for the three models presented. *, P < 0.05; **, P < 0.01; ***, P < 0.001.
