CI 95%, 95% confidence interval. R², coefficient of determination. R²a, adjusted R² (coefficient of determination).

Notes: 1The analysis was performed using simple linear regression (crude model) and multiple linear regression, in which the estimates were adjusted for sex and age (model with covariates). In both models, only the category “both subjects passed” was included as an independent variable, compared to the reference group (no subjects passed), because it represents the highest level of academic training and showed the most consistent effect in the bivariate analysis. 2A statistical significance level of p < 0.05 was considered. 3Crude model: F (1.78) = 14.96; p = 0.0002. 4Adjusted model: F (3.76) = 6.12; p = 0.0009.

Notes: Crude and adjusted estimates.

Total number of observations: n = 80.
