Group differences for nominal variables were computed using Χ2 tests. Violations of normality for continuous variables were assessed by means of Kolmogorov–Smirnov tests.

Biological sex comparisons were carried out by means of independent sample t-tests. Comparisons between sexes and diagnostic groups were performed by means of multivariate analyses of variance (MANOVA – Pillai’s Trace). Capitalization on chance was addressed by applying Bonferroni corrections. Associations between continuous variables were computed using Pearson’s moment r. Hypotheses tests were performed 2-sided at the 5% significance level. Analyses were performed by means IBM SPSS 25® (Industrial Business Machines, SPSSTM Inc., Armonk, NY, USA) and Fisher r-to-z transformations were calculated via Vassarstats (VassarStats® Statistical Computation).
