Associated (cross-sectional studies) and risk (prospective studies) factors for TSP grouped according to biopsychosocial categories. Estimates are expressed as an odds ratio (95% CI) unless indicated otherwise. An OR > 1 refers to a positive association with TSP, while and OR < 1 refers to a negative association. Where correlation coefficients are reported, positive values represent a positive association with TSP, while negative values represent a negative association. For statistical tests which do not test for association, a significant outcome (p < 0.05) refers to the factor being greater among individuals with TSP. The data provided summarise factors associated with, and risk factors for TSP.
