  1. Unadjusted odds ratio and adjusted odds ratio with age, occupational social class, and duration of education as covariates
  2. Note: All independent factors except duration of education were analyzed as categorical variables. Odds ratio (OR); Confidence interval (CI)
  3. 1P value of associations between BMI category and SCL-90 subscale case status
  4. *Difference from reference category remained significant at p < 0.05 in adjusted model
  5. **Difference from reference category remained significant at p < 0.001 in adjusted model
