Analyses are based on 969 respondents for IL-6.

Note: Outcome variables and measures of social relationships were standardized (to mean=0 and SD=1 for the pooled sample) prior to model fitting. The model includes a family-level random effect to account for sampling multiple individuals from the same family.
