p < .05. N = total number of non-missing responses, M = mean, SD = standard deviation. Cohen’s d is the effect size presented, with positive numbers indicating that men have higher responses; Welch’s t-tests were used to estimate significance. rAGE is the correlation with age at the time of the clinic assessment; rSES is the correlation with the composite SES variable.
