  1. Data are expressed as median (interquartile range).
  2. p1value; Statistical significance of differences between men and women was estimated using the Mann-Whitney test.
  3. p2value; Statistical significance of differences between age groups was estimated using the Kruskal-Wallis test. Differences between age groups are statistically significant at: * - p < 0.05; ** - p < 0.01 (the Mann-Whitney test with Bonferroni correction).
