Background: Depression is a prevalent illness in the world. Given the importance of mental disorders, many researchers have investigated the effects of different variables on average depression scores. In this study, we decided to investigate the effect of some explanatory variables on the average depression score. Methods: The data were provided from the second phase of the Kerman Coronary Artery Diseases Risk Factors study (KERCADRS), which took place between 2014 and 2018. To obtain more precise connections between depression ratings and predictor variables, we employed a cluster-wise linear regression model. Results: The total number of the participants in this study was 9811, out of whom 2144 were allocated to cluster 1, 4540 to cluster 2, and 3127 to cluster 3. The average depression score was 13.76 ± 7.6 in cluster 1, 4.39 ± 4.7 in cluster 2, and 10.83 ± 6.7 in cluster 3. However, the average depression score for all the data was 8.5 ± 7.2. In all the clusters, the average depression score of females was significantly greater than that of men (p < 0.001). In cluster 1, the age category of 35-54 years, in cluster 2, the age category of 55-80 years, and in cluster 3, the age category of 15-34 years had a maximum average depression score. Conclusion: We may classify the 3 clusters as having a low (cluster 2), moderate (cluster 3), or high (cluster 1) depression score, according to the age group with the highest artery diseases risk. The patients were 55-80 years, 15-34 years, and 35-54 years in cluster 2 (low), cluster 3 (moderate), and cluster 1 (high), respectively
