All numbers, except subgroup n, are weighted to account for complex survey design.
OR (Odds Ratio) describes the odds for having high depressive symptomatology, defined as CESD10 ≥ 10, defined as CESD10 greater than or equal to 10.
ᵃ Adjusted for sex, education, income, Hispanic/Latino background, clinical center, and nativity.
For high depressive symaptomatology, interaction terms with age were not statistically significant for religious affiliation (P = 0.58), frequency of religious participation (P = 0.12) or importance of religion (P = 0.36).
