  1. Mean ± SD or Median (IQR): P value was calculated by one-way ANOVA (normal distribution) and Kruskal–Wallis H (skewed distribution) test, and the revealing method of Median (IQR) was used only when the mean value was less than double standard difference. Normally distributed:Mean ± SD, Skewed: Median (IQR); N: participant number, % for categorical variables: p value was calculated by chi-square test
