    <p>All analyses were adjusted for the effect of clustering. Living arrangement, social support and Body Mass index were forced into the models but were not independently related to outcomes.</p>*<p>Antidepressants were initially entered in the model as one group (any antidepressant) and then one at a time (cyclic Adx = antidepressants, SSRIs, MAOIs -including MAOI-A and other antidepressants). cw = compared with, SSRIs: selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors. MAOIs: monoamine oxidase inhibitors. MAOI-A: monoamine oxidase inhibitor A. PHQ-9 = Patient Health Questionnaire. HADS = Hospital Anxiety and Depression. PCS = physical composite score of the SF-12.</p
