Unadjusted Adjustede
Outcome: Obese vs. Non-Obese (BMI ≥ 30)c
Smoking Status × MD interactiona Wald χ2= 14.4, p = .0001 Wald χ2= 14.3, p < .0001

 Effect of MD among Smokers OR(95% CI) = 1.15(0.97–1.37), p = .10 OR(95% CI) = 1.12(0.93–1.36), p = .23
TD × MD interactionb Wald χ2= 11.5, p = .0007 Wald χ2= 12.5, p = .0004

Note. N = 41654. Smoking Status = Smoked Tobacco in past 12 months (Nonsmoker, n = 30768; Smoker = 10886); MD = Major Depression in past 12 months excluding substance-induced (MD-, n = 38238; MD+, n = 3416); TD = Tobacco Dependence in past 12 months (TD-, n = 36769; TD+, n = 4885).
