Risk of suicidality across depressive symptom profiles at different levels of life satisfaction

Note: Results of the logistic regression analysis, converted into probabilities, were used to evaluate the buffering effect of life satisfaction in the association between depressive symptom profile and risk of suicidality. Figure 2a shows that the risk of suicidality in the Mild depression profile decreased as the level of life satisfaction increased, whereas the suicidality risk of the Moderate to Severe and Low depression profiles did not change appreciably as the level of life satisfaction increased. Figure 2b shows that differences in the suicidality risk between the Mild and Low depression profiles decreased (i.e., a stronger buffering effect) as the level of life satisfaction increased, whereas risk differences between the Moderate to Severe and Low depression profiles did not change much as the level of life satisfaction increased.
