CI, confidence interval; SD, standard deviation. *Comparison between sexes: p < 0.001. a Country weights were used, combining individual weights with an additional weighting factor, with each country contributing in proportion to its population aged 15 years or over (from Eurostat) [19]. b Raw numbers.
