The summary mean difference in MN frequency between exposed and unexposed individuals was 1.64 (95% CI: 0.80 2.47).
Table 1 Summary mean statistics for novice and advanced students (standard deviations reported in brackets) Novice Advanced U (sig).
Similar to the pairwise meta-analysis, summary mean differences and summary ORs were produced using the Bayesian framework and the Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) sampling technique.

In order to estimate the mean of the distribution (the summary mean or the summary effect), we need to take account of two sources of variance: the original variance within-study and the variance between-studies.
From studies that reported serum homocysteine according to genotype in individuals without a history of cardiovascular disease, we calculated summary mean serum homocysteine differences (TT minus CC and CT minus CC), weighting studies by the inverse of the variance.
The summary mean B IP derived from the observational studies is the benchmark.
The mean score of physical component summary was higher than the mental component summary mean score (70.22 vs. 63.34).
In summary, mean scores for the SPS were high for our sample and comparable to healthy population means [ 34].
