Plus-minus values are means ± SD.

There are significant difference among different patterns using GLM with p value <0.05, after adjustment for gender, age, by using general linear model factorial analysis, while, the school in study center was treated as a random effect variable.

^abc

Values with different superscripts in the same row were significantly different by Duncan’s multiple range test at p<0.05.
