CRP: C-reactive protein; IL-6: interleukin-6

Regression coefficient (β) and p values were derived from mixed models that included a random intercept for pair.

^aAdjusted for income, education, and behavioral risk factors: cigarette smoking, physical activity, and alcohol consumption

^bAdjusted for income, education, behavioral and coronary risk factors; including age, body mass index, previous history of coronary heart disease, plasma lipids (high, total, and low density lipoprotein cholesterol); use of aspirin and use of statins.

^cAdjusted for income, education, behavioral, cardiovascular, and psychiatric risk factors; including major depressive disorder and posttraumatic stress disorder.
