Predictor B SE B p
Depression Status (Major Depression criteria met=reference)
 Not depressed, PHQ < 10 -5.47 0.66 <.0001
 Major Depression criteria not met, PHQ > 10 0.14 0.92 .89
Self-Weighing Frequency (Daily=reference)
 Never 4.23 0.38 <.0001
 Monthly 3.71 0.37 .0002

Note. N = 4581 due to missing values. Table entries represent unstandardized regression coefficients (B). PHQ = Patient Health Questionnaire; a score > 10 indicates the presence of moderate depressive symptoms. SE = standard error of the regression coefficient. Model is adjusted to reflect sampling weights and includes demographic covariates (age, marital status, education level, race/ethnicity, employment status) and smoking status (current or ever).
