B unstandardized beta coefficient; CRP C-reactive protein; SE standard error; SES socioeconomic status; SSS_C subjective social status relative to others in the participant’s community; β standardized beta coefficient. Family-adjusted income was calculated as the midpoint of annual family income divided by the cubed root of the number of people living in the household.
