Test statistic: χ2 test for categorical and t-test for continuous variables. Generalized linear models with a Poisson distribution and log link function for the adjusted relative risks
RR relative risk, 95% CI confidence interval
a
Depressive symptoms are defined as an Mental Health Index-5 (MHI-5) score ≤ 60
b
Adjusted relative risk: adjusted for age, sex, educational level, clinic site, living arrangement, and functional activity score
