From: Depression, emotional eating and long-term weight changes: a population-based prospective study
Results from the mediation model between depression, emotional eating and 7-year change in WC (n = 4985). Depression and emotional eating were modelled as latent factors. Change in WC was modelled by regressing the measurement at follow-up on the baseline measurement. The model was also adjusted for age and gender (not shown in Figure). Unstandardized and standardized regression coefficients (with 95% bias-corrected bootstrap confidence intervals) are represented on the arrows. Note. Total effect = c + ab. Indirect effect = ab. Indirect effect of depression on 7-year change in WC: β = 0.077; 95% CI = 0.041, 0.118; P < 0.001 and std. β = 0.028; 95% CI = 0.016, 0.043; P < 0.001
