The results are expressed as total (percentage), and the statistical analysis was performed using Fisher’s exact test. Statistical significance was considered at in all cases (reference values: pH: 5.5-7.0; density: 1025-1035). The other variables were classified only according to their presence (yes) or absence (no).
