Fig. 1: Clusters based on neuroticism, body fat percentage, and years spent in education, separately in males and females.

A Clusters in males; B clusters in females. Clusters sizes and descriptions are shown, as well as input variablesā relative distribution in each cluster within sex, and their importance in clustering in each sex. In females, two solid clusters can be seen: in one of them, all three input variables show a risk for depression (female risk cluster), and in the other one all three variables point to a protective direction against depression (female protective cluster). However, in males, neuroticism shows a protective direction against depression not in the protective cluster but in case of a risk pattern of body fat percentage and education (male risk cluster). Nevertheless, neuroticism proved a less important input variable in clustering in males than any other variable in either sex.
