  1. b, regression coefficient; CI Confidence interval, p p-value,—not computed because the sex was not a moderator of the associations. aTotal and direct effects are equivalent as no mediating variables of characteristic-outcome associations were included in the models. All analyses were performed on 20 imputed datasets. Complete case analyses are in Tables S11, S13 and S15 (Supplementary Material 2). Model covariates are in Table S9 (Supplementary Material 2). Statistically significant effects (p < .05) are in bold
