  • Data are represented as numbers and proportion of age group in brackets.

  • a Denotes difference from <45-year age group (P<0.05).

  • b Denotes difference from 45–49-year age group (P<0.05).

  • c Denotes difference from 50–54-year age group (P<0.05).

  • d Denotes difference from 55–59-year age group (P<0.05).
