The table shows the valid number of subjects analyzed (N) and the results of binary logistic regression analyses. BMI, body mass index; HDL cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol; LDL cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol. p < 0.05 in bold, *also significant in bootstrap analysis. Coding: (A) Healthy Controls = 0 vs. Patients with Masculine Depression = 1; (B) Healthy Controls = 0 vs. Patients with Non-Masculine Depression = 1; suicidal thoughts no = 0 vs. yes = 1; women = 0 vs. men = 1.
