Sociodemographic and clinical characteristics were collected electronically. Participants completed the Patient Health Questionnaire\u20109 (PHQ\u20109) for depressive symptoms, Generalised Anxiety Disorder\u20107 (GAD\u20107) for anxiety symptoms, 20\u2010item Perceived Deficits Questionnaire\u2010Depression (PDQ\u2010D\u201020) for SCI and 20\u2010item Toronto Alexithymia Scale (TAS\u201020) for alexithymia. Analysis of covariance and binary logistic regression were used to analyse sex differences in SCI and associated factors. Interaction analyses assessed whether these associations differed by sex, and sensitivity analyses used a more stringent SCI cutoff. The Benjamini\u2013Hochberg false discovery rate (FDR) correction was applied to account for multiple testing.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      Of the 2298 participants, 67.9% (\n                      <jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u00a0=\u00a01561) met the criterion for SCI.
