Unadjusted regression slopes for age across sex and time for IL‐6, hsCRP, MCP‐1, and MMP‐9 among women and men with CAD from MIPS and MIMS2 combined cohorts. Natural log values modeled using repeated‐measures analysis for inflammatory outcome measures of IL‐6, hsCRP, MCP‐1, and MMP‐9 with 95% confidence intervals. Repeated‐measures models were used to investigate age and sex differences across time, testing for interaction of age (continuous) and sex. CAD indicates coronary artery disease; hsCRP, high‐sensitivity C‐reactive protein; IL‐6, interleukin‐6; MCP‐1, monocyte chemoattractant protein‐1; MIMS2, Myocardial Infarction and Mental Stress Study 2; MIPS, Mental Stress Ischemia Prognosis Study; MMP‐9, matrix metallopeptidase 9.
