The subjects were selected in an even global distribution considering GDP. The present study has sampled overall 20,062 participants (at least 2,000 per country). A stratified sampling was used by demographic groups for the first sampling and quotas were then set up for sex and age ratios for the second sampling. The sam­pling error was ±2.19%p (95% CI).
