Table 1.

Domains and measures administered premorbid, concurrent, and following TMD onset. The selected variables were identified based on prior univariate analyses [5; 16; 19; 32; 38]. Grayed box indicates administration of measure, and empty box indicates variable was not measured. Visit 1 refers to enrollment, Visit 2 refers to the clinic visit associated with TMD pain onset (cases) or by invitation (matched controls), and Visit 3 refers to the approximate 6-month follow-up.
