A regression model was fitted for each region separately, and for all of them pooled (“All Regions”). DF is the degrees of freedom used in the analyses, R² is the percentage of dependent variable explained by the regression model, and ANOVA is the F tests of the regression models with their corresponding significance values denoted by asterisks (^***P < 0.001, ^**P < 0.01, ^*P < 0.05). Beta is the standardized regression coefficient; the associated probabilities (see asterisks) were calculated by a t-test. The residuals of the previous model were used as a dependent variable in a second regression analysis (see right columns) where the independent variable was religiosity (DUREL)
