Between-subject bivariate correlations at wave 1 among study variables

Variable	M (SD)	1	2	3	4	5	6	7
1. Log IL-6	0.38 (0.020)^a
2. Self-rated health	3.64 (0.065)^a	−.213^*
3. Statin use (1 = yes)	44%^b	−.133	.002
4. Sex (1 = male)	59%	−.059	−.024	.016
5. Age at entry	74.43 (6.02)	.038	−.097	−.042	−.164
6. Neuroticism	1.84 (0.52)	.053	−.154	.021	.112	−.134
7. BMI	27.33 (4.94) ^c	.191	−.149	.200^*	.038	−.255^**	.101
8. No. of waves completed	7.63 (2.48)	.098	.105	.102	−.291^***	−.203^*	.055	.243^**

N = 131 except for correlations with log IL-6 (n = 95).

Means and SDs represent the intercept and its SE as estimated from linear mixed models; these estimates are more accurate than simple means for unbalanced (e.g., different numbers of observations across people) multilevel designs.

At wave 1; 41% across all person-waves.

Mean and SD for BMI are presented untransformed.
