Adapted from [19••].
Note: Interleukin-6 (IL-6), C-reactive protein (CRP), systolic blood pressure (SBP), and total cholesterol scores were winsorized to 3 standard deviations from the mean to adjust for extreme values (calculated separately for each culture), and all biomarkers were log-transformed to reduce skewness.
