In the area of the depression, the first scale in 20 points was established in 1977 in the United States by L. S. Radloff. It is still used today by researchers. Practically, other more simple scales may be used, including a scale developed by the Danish psychiatrist Per Bech for WHO, under the form of the Major Depression Inventory (MDI) questionnaire. This test is also known as the Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression (CES-D) scale (http://www.therapiebreve.be/plus/tests/depression-mdi). That scale allows a self-assessment of the severity of a mood disorder, but it can be established in the presence of a specialist or remotely, by phone or even by mail. It enables the exploration of the nine symptoms identified as diagnostic criteria of a major depressive episode described in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-IV).

One recent study evaluated the effects of resistance exercise training on mood in MS patients. Twelve weeks of bi-weekly resistance exercise resulted in a significant decrease in the Major Depression Inventory (MDI) score of the exercise group compared to the control group (Dalgas et al., 2010). Mood scores were reduced from a baseline score of 10.3±5.9 to 7.9±4.9 after the programme of exercise training, approaching data from healthy Danish subjects aged 35–49 years having a MDI score of 7.7 (Olsen et al., 2004).

Finally, we have recently begun to use the British Columbia Major Depression Inventory (BC-MDI) (51). It requires an examination of endorsed items for scoring and interpretation and has demonstrated good sensitivity and specificity with diagnoses of major depressive disorder (51). In addition to assessing symptom severity, the BC-MDI also includes items assessing symptom impact on functioning, which is not included in either the BDI or the CES-D.

The Major Depression Inventory (MDI) (Bech et al., 2001) is a 10-item questionnaire designed to cover the ICD-10 and DSM-IV symptoms for depression. The MDI items refer to the past 2 weeks and each item was scored on a 6-point scale ranging from 0 (Never) to 5 (Always). A total score (0–50) can be calculated as the sum of all scores but the questionnaire can also be used as a diagnostic tool in which case the MDI items are dichotomized to indicate the presence or absence of each symptom (present nearly every day during the past 2 weeks). Items 1, 2, and 3 are considered core symptoms. The presence of at least two of the three core symptoms and at least four of the other seven items is indicative of ICD-10 moderate to severe depression (Bech et al., 2001). In this study, we used the MDI as a diagnostic tool.

All MH outcomes were used as continuous variables in the regression model. The Major Depression Inventory (MDI) was used to assess the presence of depressive symptoms among participants during the two weeks prior to assessment (Bech et al. 2001; Olsen et al. 2003). The MDI contains 12 questions assessing 10 criteria of depression (two criteria, describing restlessness or agitation and heightened or decreased appetite, are described by two questions). A Likert scale from “1 = always” to “6 = never” was used to give a value range between 0 and 60; the means of the individuals’ scores were used in the model.

The 10-item depression scheme Major Depression Inventory (MDI) is widely used in general practice in Denmark [1]. The MDI was originally developed in Danish [2], but it has been translated into several languages, including English.
