Values are mean (SD) unless stated

aModel residuals showed non-normality, which could not be resolved after log-transformation. Therefore, 95% CIs were calculated using the semi-parametric bias corrected and accelerated bootstrap regression method (with 1,999 resamples)

bResults are expressed as ORs

cAdherence defined as a score of >23/25 on the MARS questionnaire
