a

Elevated depressive symptoms were attributed to those whose CES-D score was 16 or higher, were taking antidepressant medication, or both.

b

Adjusted for age, sex, race/ethnicity, and examination site.

c

Adjusted using model 1 criteria and BMI.

d

Adjusted using model 2 criteria and log-transformed triglycerides, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, systolic blood pressure, and log-transformed fasting insulin.

e

Adjusted using model 2 criteria and for inflammatory markers IL-6 and C-reactive protein.

f

Adjusted using model 2 criteria and SES factors: educational status (categorized as <high school, high school, and ≥high school), annual household income (categorized as <$15 000, ≥$15000-<$24000, ≥$24 000-<$34 000, ≥34 000-<$49000, ≥$49 000-<$74 000, and ≥$74 000).

g

Adjusted using model 2 criteria and daily caloric intake, smoking status, alcohol use, and physical activity.

h

Fully adjusted using criteria from all models.
