Note. IL-6 = interluekin-6. CRP = C-reactive protein. TNF-α = tumor-necrosis factor alpha. IL-1β = interleukin-1 beta. BMI = body mass index. Bold values indicate p < .05 associations. CRP was square-root transformed, and IL-6, IL-1β, and TNF-α were all log 10 transformed. Estimates represent unstandardized betas. CI = 95% confidence intervals. Race is coded as 0 = any other race, 1 = white. Ethnicity is coded as 1 = non-Hispanic/Latinx, 2 = Hispanic/Latinx.
