*for conditions with multiple episodes, including depression and chronic pain, the baseline was defined as the time frame between 3 years before the ATP enrollment and 6 months after the ATP enrollment.

**multi-morbidity was defined as 2 or more comorbidities from 16 chronic diseases investigated in this study; cardiovascular diseases in the table were grouped as one single condition as major cardiovascular diseases (CVD).

†there are statistically significant difference (p < 0.001) between women and men.
