The Gender Differences of Mediating Effect of Body Mass Index Between Perceived Control and Depressive Symptoms in Korean Workers

BMI partially mediated the association between perceived control and depression in male but not in female. Perceived control was negatively associated with both BMI and depressive symptoms in both genders; however, BMI contributed to depressive symptoms only in male. Gender-specific approaches may be warranted in workplace mental health interventions.

Abstract

BMI partially mediated the association between perceived control and depression in male but not in female. Perceived control was negatively associated with both BMI and depressive symptoms in both genders; however, BMI contributed to depressive symptoms only in male. Gender-specific approaches may be warranted in workplace mental health interventions.
