   <mods:abstract>We present the effects of patient baseline characteristics such as Body Mass Index
      (BMI) on Mindfulness-based treatment outcomes. Mindfulness Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) is a
      therapeutic intervention designed to treat relapsing depression. It is known to affect
      functional connectivity among brain regions and neuro-hormonal pathways involved in chronic
      depression. Many patient who are undergoing MBCT are also struggling with weight and
      nutritional issues that may affect the same brain regions and hormonal pathways affected by
      MBCT. Data is limited on how baseline patient factors such as Body Mass Index (BMI) affect a
      patient's ability to benefit from mindfulness based interventions. This study randomized
      patients with recurrent depression to two groups, one receiving and 8 week MBCT intervention
      and one on a wait list. Measures were taken before and after MBCT that included EEG sleep
      analysis, lab assessments that included neuro-psychological battery tests, and treatment
      questionnaires. The study found that high BMI correlated with no benefit or worsening
      depression pre to post MBCT intervention and that the effects of BMI were gender specific.
      Understanding how patient baseline factors affect MBCT treatment outcomes will lead towards
      better targeted treatment approaches for specific patient populations.</mods:abstract>
