The table presents the mean (sd) unless otherwise indicated; in [] is given the range between DMPs i.e. lowest and highest values across DMPs in the same disease area; low education was defined as no or only primary education; The p-values show whether the values are statistically different between the diseases **Statistically different at p < 0.01 between the diseases.
