  1. Data are presented as mean (SE)
  2. Bold p values indicate significant differences between the groups using logistic regression analysis after adjusting for age and sex.
  3. * The score for each SF-36 domain ranges from 0 to 100, where 100 means perfect health. The SF-36 domain scores were divided by a factor of 10 to estimate the OR.
