  1. Odds Ratio (OR); 95% Confidence Interval (CI 95%);a Depression was defined only as a physician diagnosis, excluding those participants who reported use of antidepressant drugs, n = 160; b Odds Ratio of the association between body image disturbance and depression adjusted for age; c Odds Ratio of the association between body image disturbance and depression adjusted for age, body mass index, weight change in the past five years (none, lost, gain), marital status (unmarried, married, other), smoking (never, current smoker, past smoker), physical activity (METs-h/week), energy intake (Kcal/day), alcohol consumption (g/day), working hours (< 35 hours/week, >= 35 hours/week, unemployed), chronic diseases (cardiovascular diseases and cancer) at baseline; d Odds Ratio of the association between body image disturbance and incidence of depression adjusted for the same variables in (c) plus pregnancy and chronic diseases (cardiovascular diseases and cancer) during follow-up; e Odds Ratio could not be calculated.
