Figure 8 – Boxplots <strong>of</strong> depression across BMI groups<br />

As can be seen from the above boxplots which consider anxiety and depression there<br />

does not appear to be a difference in the means <strong>of</strong> the groups. As regards depression there<br />

appears to be an outlier in the healthy group. Relevant descriptive statistics are displayed<br />
