Note: Data are presented as mean ± standard deviation with P values for Student’s t test, number (%) with P values for chi-square test, or median (interquartile range) with P values for Mann-Whitney U test. BMI = body mass index.

a

Missing data for 1 case.

b

Missing data for 16 cases.

c

P value for Fisher’s exact test as the expected counts for chi-square test were not met.

d

Two hundred participants in the dataset had multiple diagnoses; so sum across diagnoses categories will not total 100%. Moreover, 42 cases did not have any diagnosis specified.
