  1. Values of CRP and IL-6 were log transformed to adjust for their skewed and wide distributions
  2. Bold values denote where the 95% confidence intervals (95% CIs) encompass the reference category
  3. Model 1: Adjusted for age, gender, and disease
  4. Model 2: Adjusted for covariates in Model 1 and BMI
  5. Model 3: Adjusted for covariates in Model 2 and Framingham risk score
  6. Model 4: Adjusted for covariates in Model 3 and health behavior (alcohol drinking, diet, and exercise)
  7. Model 5: Adjusted for covariates in Model 4 and depression
  8. Model 6: Adjusted for covariates in Model 5 and stress
  9. Model 7: Adjusted for covariates in Model 6 and the other inflammatory marker
