Note: Models 1-3 consider gender as well as the separate associations of adiposity (model 1), pathogen exposure (model 2), and health behavior variables (model 3) shown in bivariate analyses to predict IL-6 at p<0.10. Model 4 considers all variables simultaneously to evaluate their independence in predicting IL-6.
