Abstract

The impact of depression on successful treatment adherence to different medically-recommended health behavior changes (i.e., exercise, caloric intake, and weight) is not well understood. Secondary data analyses from the nationally representative NHANES dataset (N = 9,200) demonstrated significant relationships between adherence, depression and all three recommended health behaviors.
