a

Model 1 was unadjusted, except the analysis for waist-to-hip ratio was adjusted for sex. Model 2 adjusted for demographics: Age, sex, White race, high school graduate, and annual household income < $20,000. Model 3 adjusted for demographics, left ventricular ejection fraction, heart failure, stroke, diabetes mellitus, and baseline depressive symptoms as a continuous variable. Analyses for physical activity and medication adherence also adjusted for history of revascularization, whereas analyses for BMI and WHR included additional adjustment for hypertension.

b

The unstandardized B coefficient refers to the mean change in depressive symptoms (Patient Health Questionnaire-9 score) across the 5-year period, for each 1-unit difference in baseline lifestyle behaviors or for smokers vs. non-smokers.
