*60 years and older, 50–59 years, 40–49 years, 30–39 years, 20–29 years, as the age group decreases from the older age group to the lower age group.
**Physical symptoms mean a score of 10 or higher on the Patient Health Questionnaire-15.
***Chronic fatigue symptoms mean a score of 3.22 or higher on the Fatigue Severity Scale.
****Post-traumatic stress symptoms mean a score of 2 or higher on the Primary Care Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder-5 scale.
