Sample A: native Japanese, Sample B: native Koreans; TE: Tae-Eum, SE: So-Eum, SY: So-Yang. Data were presented as the mean (standard deviation). Sample A: P values were calculated using Kruskal-Wallis test. Post hoc comparisons using Mann–Whitney. Sample B: P values were calculated using one-way ANOVA. Post hoc comparisons using Bonferroni or Dunnett T3. a, b, c: Significant difference between the groups, in which the value descends by a and b followed by c.
