A. OR represents the odds of having low QOL (≤ 40.0) compared to high QOL (>40.0) on the PCS. B. OR represents the odds of having low QOL (≤ 40.0) compared to high QOL (>40.0) on the MCS. C. OR represents the odds of having low QOL (>.70) compared to high QOL (≤ .70) on CARES-SF Global. D. OR represents the odds of having low QOL (≥ 2.0) compared to high QOL (<2.0) on CARES-SF Sexuality. E. OR represents the odds of having more depressive symptoms (≥ 16) compared to fewer depressive symptoms (<16) on CESD.
