Table 2.

The results of the Spearman rank-order correlation analysis. The pairs of variables with positive correlation coefficients and p values below 0.050 tend to increase together. For the pair with negative correlation coefficients and p values below 0.050, one variable tends to decrease while the other increases. For pairs with p values greater than 0.050, there is no significant relation between the two variables.
