Table 1.
Descriptive statistics for the complete dataset of app users that indicated to know their MS type (82.8%, n = 1301). Except for gender, all variables are described as [average (standard deviation, n)]. Group effect column provides the results of the Kruskal–Wallis analyses to look for an effect of MS type on these variables. p-values have been corrected using FDR correction.
