Regression Models Predicting Age-18 Levels of Inflammation Biomarkers from Age-12 Depression Risk Group Membership (low- versus high-risk).

Inflammation Biomarker Model Coefficient 95% CI p
CRP level (mg/L) 1 0.34 −0.03 – 0.70 0.070
2 0.29 −0.06 – 0.65 0.103
IL-6 level (pg/mL) 1 −0.01 −0.16 – 0.14 0.887
2 0.02 −0.14 – 0.18 0.815
suPAR level (ng/mL) 1 0.51 0.28 – 0.75 <0.001
2 0.41 0.18 – 0.64 <0.001

Note. CI = confidence interval; CRP = C-reactive protein; IL-6 = interleukin-6; suPAR = soluble urokinase plasminogen activator receptor. Model 1 is adjusted for familial clustering only (N = 287). Model 2 is adjusted for familial clustering, body mass index, body temperature, smoking, and prior depression (N = 273). Low-risk group defined as a risk score for age-18 MDD ≤ 10th percentile; high-risk group defined as a risk score for age-18 MDD ≥ 90th percentile. Statistically significant (p < 0.05) associations are shown in bold.
