A NP researcher randomly sampled 100 women aged 50-65 years and measured their minutes of exercise in the past week, BMI, and depression. Depression was measured using a Likert type scale consisting of 20 items. The summation score ranged from 20 to 100 and the higher the score, the higher the level of depression.The Pearson correlation coefficients (r's) are summarized in the following table. For the analyses, statistical significant level was set at =0.05.
