Table 2.

Pearson product moment correlations between depression, tension, and total mood disturbance scores, and BMI change, over 6 months (n = 57)

	BMI change, ra
Mood factors at baseline
Depression	0.18
Tension	0.12
Total mood disturbance	0.25
Changes in mood factors over 6 months
Depression change	0.39*
Tension change	0.13
Total mood disturbance change	0.33*

^aNote. A positive correlation occurs when a lower mood score at baseline, or greater reduction in score change from baseline to Month 6, is associated with a greater reduction in BMI.

^*p < 0.05 (2-tailed; adjusted for multiple tests using the sequential Bonferroni procedure).
