Figure 3. Adjusted means of lifestyle score throughout follow-up according to post-diagnosis depression symptoms.

Figure 3

Notes. The lifestyle score ranges from 0 (reaching the recommended guidelines for none of the 5 health behaviors) to 5 (reaching the recommended guidelines for all of the 5 health behaviors). Means adjusted for age at diagnosis (continuous), year of diagnosis (continuous), time between cancer diagnosis and completion of the depression questionnaire (continuous), cancer stage (advanced [stages III–IV] vs. non-advanced [stages 0–II]), tumor location (proximal colon vs. distal colon and rectal tumors), marital status (in a relationship vs. not), education level (registered nurses vs. university degree), and pre-diagnosis lifestyle score (ranges from 0 to 5). Post-diagnosis represents the time point when the depression measure was assessed. Asterisk (*) represents a significant difference between the lifestyle mean score of the two groups at a specific follow-up assessment (p≤0.05), while a superscript (a) represents a marginal difference (p≤0.10). FU = follow-up assessment.
