↵a When there were significant between-group differences, groups with the same superscript in the same row did not differ from each other.
↵b When there were significant between-group differences, groups with the same superscript in the same row did not differ from each other.
↵c Significant differences were based on ANOVA for continuous variables and χ² (or Fisher’s exact test for small cell sizes) for categorical variables.
↵d When there were significant between-group differences, groups with the same superscript in the same row did not differ from each other.
↵e Children often had >1 social function.
