  1. Legend
  2. Multiple linear regression with GDS-s and STPI-TA scores as dependent variables. Each row represents a separate model (see text). Only the MCSDS scores are shown as predictors. a Multiple linear regression with age, sex, education, income, global cognition Z-score, CIRS-m score, STPI-TA score and individual MCSDS scores as predictors (full model). b Multiple linear regression with age, sex, education, income, global cognition Z-score, CIRS-m score, GDS-s score and individual MCSDS scores as predictors (full model). R2 for the full model. Change in R2 from the reduced model (all predictors except the MCSDS individual score) to the full model. Statistically significant results are shown in bold typeface.
