  1. Note: In two-variable correlation analysis, Spearman’s rank correlation was used for two continuous variables, and Kendall’s rank correlation was used if one of the variables was discontinuous; the r values represent the correlation coefficients. In multiple linear regression analysis, the stepwise regression was used to determine the variables in the regression equation; the β values represent the standardized regression coefficients
