Note: For CRP and IL6, subjects who were sick, taken anti-inflammatory medications and CRP >10 were excluded. For purposes of this table, the regression coefficient for depressive symptoms and family SES were from analyses where each observation from ages 7 to 16 (up to 10 observations) was treated as a separate observation within person within the data set.
