  1. Data are reported as Beta (B) and their standard error and correspondent p-values and adjusted R2. The beta coefficient represents the change in the dependent variable (in this case, the presence of any long COVID signs or symptoms) associated with a one-unit change in the independent variable.
  2. Significant values are in bold.
