Note: Income, educational level, occupation, age, health status and gender were all used as independent variables of the models. The analysis considered the effect of the aforementioned variables, in order to avoid the possibility of confounding. We have included these variables in the models and evaluated whether they were potential confounders. We did not present the betas for all these variables because they were not statistically significant.
