Demographic and habits-related parameters of the cohort. The p-values refer to the Kruskall–Wallis test and Fisher’s test between the Montreal E scale and the numeric or categorical variables, respectively. n = no, Y = yes. The variable in bold was significantly unbalanced between HC (42 samples), E1 (9 samples), E2 (18 samples) and E3 (28 samples) groups.
