a Values were from multivariable generalized estimating equation models with binomial distribution, the survey order as repeated effect and within-subject effect, and participant-specific ID code as covariate factor, using an autoregressive correlation structure. All factors considered that showed significance in the univariable generalized estimating equation models were entered into the multivariable models.
