Note. RR = relative risk; CI = confidence interval.

aAdjusted for baseline depressive symptomatology.

bAdjusted for baseline depressive symptomatology, age, gender, marital status, educational level, instrumental activities of daily living status, and number of chronic diseases.

cSignificance levels refer to differences from reference category.

dValues refer to the odds of subsequent depressed mood associated with each 1-unit increase in the continuous lifestyle variable.
