Threshold and saturation effect analysis of NLR on depressive symptoms.

NLR	OR (95% CIs)^a
Standard logistic regression model	1.07 (0.99, 1.15)
Fitting model by two-piecewise linear regression
Inflection point of NLR	2.87
	1.33 (1.07, 1.66)
>2.87	0.99 (0.87, 1.12)
for likelihood	0.031

Abbreviation: NLR: neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio: OR: odds ratio; CI: confidence interval. ^aAdjusted for age, sex, race, education, household annual income, smoking status, alcohol consumption, BMI, HBA1C in quartiles, chronic conditions including HF, stroke, DR and CHD, and medication use including glucose-lowering drugs and insulin use.
