  1. We conducted additional exploratory two-tailed regression analyses to assess whether the age of onset influences the relationships above. P values less than 0.0083 (Bonferroni correction for six covariates) are considered significant and bolded.
  2. aThe variance inflation factor is used to detect multicollinearity. The value starts at 1 and has no upper limit. A general rule of thumb is that values between 1 and 5 indicate some correlations that are not problematic enough to require attention.
