a
Indicates statistically significant differences in the anxiety profile groups.
b
Indicates statistically significant differences in the depression profile groups.
c
The data were not normally distributed for these variables in the total sample and in the anxiety and depression profile groups; therefore, the median and range are displayed.
d
The data were not normally distributed for this variable in the total sample; therefore, the median and range are also displayed.
e
The data were not normally distributed for this variable in the anxiety profile groups; therefore, the median and range are also displayed.
