  1. †: Model was constructed by controlling the fixed covariates (age, education, and household registration). Covariates that were significant at p < 0.20 in the univariable model were then considered in a multivariable model
  2. #: AOR, adjusted odds ratio
  3. &: the interaction effect between RD and CRAI was shown in the table
