The table shows the valid number of subjects analyzed (N) and the results of binary logistic regression analyses (Patients with masculine depression vs. patients with non-masculine depression, patients with masculine depression vs. controls, patients with non-masculine depression vs. controls) and linear regression analyses (MDRS-22 score). P < 0.05 in bold, *also significant in bootstrap analysis. Coding: Patients with non-masculine depression = 0 vs. patients with masculine depression = 1, controls = 0 vs. patients with masculine / non-masculine depression = 1; females = 0 vs. males = 1.
