Model 1: Crude model. Results were calculated per 10-unit (1 SD) increment of depression and anxiety (continuous) scores.

Model 2: For both models of depression and anxiety, results were obtained after adjustment for HDL, AST, BMI, ECG, systolic blood pressure, fasting blood glucose, fruit consumption frequency, and vegetable consumption frequency. Results were calculated corresponding to 10-unit (1 SD) increments in depression and anxiety scores.

*P < 0.05; **P < 0.01; ***P < 0.001.

CI: confidence interval.
