Total somatic illness is a composite score of the presence of the four most common comorbidities (cardiovascular disease, asthma/allergies, osteoarthritis and diabetes mellitus). The data are presented as the mean and SD. Significance levels were analyzed using Mann-Whitney except for gender differences where the chi-square test was used.

NA = not applicable.

UD = undetermined.

*Patients who could not perform AQT were assigned a result of 360 sec.
