We established a pattern A and B score for each participant corresponding to the overall impact of these chronic conditions (mean [SD] score 0.73 [0.69] and 0.27 [0.40], respectively) (data not shown). The mean pattern A score for men was 0.55 [range: -0.29; 3.63] and for women 0.89 [range: -0.15; 4.31]. The mean pattern B score for men was 0.38 [range: -0.46; 2.70] and for women 0.17 [range: -0.54; 3.24].
