Multiple linear regression models (b, se) for the association between tertiles of emotion regulation and (natural log) C-reactive protein

Emotion Regulation	Demographics	Childhood	Life Course
Reappraisal
High	−0.43**	−0.42**	−0.22+
	(0.14)	(0.14)	(0.13)
Middle	−0.12	−0.11	−0.01
	(0.14)	(0.14)	(0.12)
Low	Reference	Reference	Reference
Suppression
High	0.44**	0.41**	0.35**
	(0.14)	(0.14)	(0.12)
Middle	0.13	0.13	0.08

Low	Reference	Reference	Reference

Note: Demographic model controls for study site, age, race, gender. Childhood model controls for demographics plus child factors (born small for gestational age, socioeconomic status, physical health, child BMI, IQ). Life course model controls for demographics, child factors and adult factors (depressive symptoms, smoking, education, adult BMI). Coefficients represent change in (ln)CRP per tertile of reappraisal or suppression scores as compared to the lowest tertile.
