BMI: body mass index. Data for gender, education history, work, sleep disorder, drinking habit, smoking habit, and exercising habit are shown as numbers and percentages (in parentheses) of patients who replied subjectively with “yes.” These data were analyzed by the χ2 test. Data for age and BMI are shown as the mean ± standard deviation of the mean (SD). These data were analyzed by the Mann-Whitney U test. The significance level is less than 5%. There were no significant differences in patient characteristics and daily life factors between outcome groups.
