  1. SE: Standard Error; CI: confidence interval; L: linear; Q: quadratic; DS: presence of depressive symptoms; ‘×’ symbol indicates interaction between variables
  2. Bold font indicates statistically significant variables. †Continuous independent variables were rescaled to a z-score metric (mean = 0, SD = 1) in the mixed model; ‡Statistical significance assessed the analysis of Deviance in each model (Type III Wald chi-square test)
