Notes: Results expressed in absolute values and percentage; Pearson’s Chi-squared test with Bonferroni correction was used;

^*P < 0.05;

^#P < 0.001;

^†P < 0.05 for differences after Bonferroni adjustment between ≥70-year-old group and 60–69-year-old group;

^‡P < 0.05 for differences after Bonferroni adjustment between 50–59-year-old group and ≥70-year-old group.
