The multivariable analysis revealed a highly significant mutual interaction between the geographic prevalence of obesity and depression ( Table 2 ), with an increase in the risk of obesity in highly depressed regions (Odds Ratio (OR) of 1.295; 95% CI [1.128–1.486], p = 0.0002) (above average prevalence), but a protective effect in regions with moderate levels of depression (OR 0.704 [0.611–0.811], p<0.0001) (below average prevalence).
