Note: N = 175; SD = standard deviation; CRP = C-reactive protein; IL-6 = interleukin-6; Summary statistics for the biomarkers of inflammation denoted with a * are given in raw units, whereas log transformed versions were used for the correlations and structural equation model analyses. BMI = body mass index.
