Association between living arrangement and psychological well-being among patients with major depressive disorder: the moderating role of body mass index.
Article in BMC psychiatry, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundMajor depressive disorder (MDD) is highly prevalent globally, significantly impacting psychological well-being (PWB). Herein, we aim to evaluate the impact of different living arrangements on PWB in individuals with MDD and explore the potential moderating role of BMI in this relationship.
methodsParticipants with MDD were recruited from a specialist mental health hospital between December 2019 and April 2023. The diagnosis of MDD was assessed by trained psychiatrists using the Mini-International Neuropsychiatric Interview (M.I.N.I.). Psychological well-being was evaluated using the World Health Organization-Five Well-Being Index. Univariable and multivariable logistic regression models were used to examine the association between different living arrangements and PWB at the 12-month follow-up. The Participants were categorized into underweight, normal weight, and overweight groups based on BMI, followed by conducting stratified analysis.
resultsAfter adjusting for covariates, living with family (AOR = 1.80, 95%CI = 1.14-2.87, P = 0.026) was associated with a higher PWB. There was significant moderating effect of BMI on the association of living arrangements with PWB (P = 0.049). The stratification analyses revealed significant associations between living arrangements and PWB in the normal weight group, while no significant associations were found in the underweight and overweight groups.
conclusionsLiving with family was significantly associated with higher levels of PWB in individuals with MDD, especially among those with a normal BMI. These findings highlight the synergistic effect of living with family and maintaining a healthy BMI on improving PWB in depressed individuals.
