One-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) with post-hoc Bonferroni correction between participants' mean age difference in years (95% CI) between groups in relation to respondents reported short-STAI and WHO-5 scores (n=137)
| Participants n (%) | Age mean (SD) | Group comparison Mean age difference (95% CI) p value | ||
| Anxiety caseness+depression caseness | Anxiety caseness+no depression caseness | |||
| Anxiety caseness+depression caseness | 12 (9) | 15.4 (3.9) | – | – |
| No anxiety caseness+depression caseness | 2 (2) | 15.0 (−)* | † | † |
| Anxiety caseness+no depression caseness | 52 (38) | 13.8 (2.6) | −1.7 (−3.8 to 0.5) p=0.186 | – |
| Neither anxiety nor depression caseness | 71 (52) | 11.9 (2.7) | −3.5 (−5.6 to −1.5) p<0.001 | −1.9 (−3.1 to −0.7) p=0.001 |
Overall ANOVA p<0.001.
*SD could not be calculated.
†The group with only depression caseness was too small (n=2) to be included in the comparative analysis.
