Table 4 Influences on the height of PEth values. The results of simple linear regression analysis regarding the height of PEth values are displayed. P values <0.05 are regarded as statistically significant. Unstandardized regression coefficient B to determine effect direction and R2 as measure of goodness of fit is shown.
