Note. IES = Impact of Events Scale, IL-6 = interleukin 6, TNF-α = tumor necrosis factor alpha, IL-8 = interleukin 8, IL-1β = interleukin 1-beta. Cytokine data represent non-log transformed values for individual markers. These markers were log transformed, standardized, and averaged to create the inflammatory composite measure.
