  1. Note. All sociodemographic variables were controlled in each block (Full results were presented in Table 2 in Additional file 1). The numbers in the columns 2–4 are b (regression coefficient) and t value of b. The numbers in the column 5 are OR and 95% CI. *** p-value < 0.001, ** p-value < 0.01, * p-value < 0.05
