  2. A mixed model has been used for the statistical analysis: P < 0.05 was considered significant. In the reduced model, covariates were excluded if P > 0.10. This table contains the data from the reduced models. The full models including stepwise covariate elimination steps and model optimization transformation can be found in the supplementary files.
