*Statistical significance was set as p < 0.05

a Model 1: Odds ratios for NRS 1–10 was assessed against a reference of NRS 0 or no pain

b Model 2: Odds ratios for NRS 4–10 was assessed against a reference of NRS 0–3 or no pain

c Model 3: Odds ratios for NRS 4–10 was assessed against a reference of NRS 0 or no pain

d Model 4: Odds ratios for NRS 7–10 was assessed against a reference of NRS 0 or no pain

e AUDIT scores are calculated as the sum of 10 items, and were categorized into Zone I (0–7), Zone II (8–15), Zone III (16–19), and Zone IV (20+)

f Fully-adjusted: adjusted for age, sex, income level, educational level, occupation, marital status, residential area, smoking status, body mass index, and physical activity
