Abbreviations: CI, confidence interval; CRP, C-reactive protein.
Full model adjusted for age, gender, Townsend deprivation score, educational status, current depressive symptoms.
Linear regression; omitted reference group was the mood disorder control group and serum CRP quintile 1; coefficients are in z-score units (higher = better performance).
