  1. a: Based on multiple logistic regression, the analysis was adjusted for sex, age, marital status, level of education, place of birth, smoking status, presence of any chronic condition, province, and physical activity. b: The analysis using the Generalized Linear Model (GLM) was also adjusted for sex, age, marital status, level of education, place of birth, smoking status, presence of any chronic condition, province, and physical activity. The GLM is designed to address skewness and heteroscedasticity while requiring non-negative values. Consequently, the disutility score (disutility score = 1 - EQ-5D-5L index value) was included in the model. c: Analysis based on the Generalized Linear Model (GLM) was conducted with adjustments for sex, age, marital status, level of education, place of birth, smoking status, presence of any chronic condition, province, and physical activity
