Article Synopsis
- The study investigates how various factors, like job dissatisfaction, age, income, lifestyle, and body fat, relate to depressive symptoms in teachers.
- Data was collected from 700 public school teachers in Brazil, using the Beck Depression Inventory to measure depressive symptoms.
- Key findings reveal that older age and job dissatisfaction directly increase depressive symptoms, while a healthier lifestyle and lower body fat are linked to fewer symptoms, with job dissatisfaction mediating some of these effects.

A probabilistic sample was adopted by clusters, with AH as the dependent variable. The independent variables were grouped in thematic blocks (Sociodemographic Characteristics, Occupational Profile, Behaviors and Health Outcomes) that composed the theoretical model.
