  1. Data presented as number (N) and percentage (%). Norm-based scores in the US general population have a mean of 50 and a standard deviation of 10
  2. Mean score is set to 50 (Cut-off), therefore scores ≥50 or < 50 indicate better or worse physical or mental health than the mean 1998 US population, respectively
  3. PCS Physical Component Summary, MCS Mental Component Summary
  4. Bold values are statistically significant (p < 0.05)
