There were no significant differences either in the estimated 14-MEDAS scores between the different age ranges (18–24 years, 6.25 ± 1.73; 25–34 years, 6.09 ± 1.97; 35–44 years, 6.16 ± 2.03; 45–54 years, 6.72 ± 2.18; 55–64 years, 6.14 ± 2.24; 65–81 years, 5.89 ± 2.09; p -value = 0.418) although we detected a small and almost significant negative correlation between age and 14-MEDAS ( r = −0.1, p -value = 0.05).
