The adjusted covariates are sex, age, region, marital status, educational level, economic activity, household income, smoking, drinking, and practicing aerobic exercise, having chronic diseases, and health insurance. GEE = generalized estimating equations. Statistically significant *: p ≤ 0.05, **: p ≤ 0.01, ***: p ≤ 0.001, ****: p ≤ 0.0001. Ref. = Poverty status, No → No
