Continuous variables were shown as mean ± standard deviation. Period, the period in which each correlation was recognized; Ratio, the ratio of each correlation’s period to the total analyzed period; Slope, the slope of each correlation; , a value; , correlation coefficient; , number of data in each correlation; No existence, the correlation did not exist; Impossible to analyze, the analysis was impossible; No recognition, the correlation was not recognized statistically and both and were shown as figures in parentheses.
