¹The reference group for disease category is the hemorrhoids group.

Model summary: Adjusted R² = 0.136, F (6, 242) = 7.485, P < 0.001. Multicollinearity: All variance inflation factor values were < 1.6, indicating no substantial multicollinearity. BMI: Body mass index; 95%CI: 95% confidence interval; VIF: Variance inflation factor.
