Summary of multiple regression analysis examining the adjusted relationship between inflammation measures and dimensions of depression and total BDI-II scores.

	Somatic dimension		Cognitive dimension		Total BDI-II
Inflammation	ß	p	ß	p	ß	p
Measure
IL-6	0.273	0.002	0.120	0.168	0.221	0.012
TNF-α	0.215	0.017	0.062	0.485	0.145	0.108
DII	0.083	0.359	−0.023	0.795	0.048	0.591

ß: standardized coefficients.

Significant associations are highlighted in bold font. All tests were two-tailed. Models were adjusted for age, income, and race/ethnicity. Income was represented as a scale of 1–7, with each point representing one of the seven income groups. Race/ethnicity was represented as four dummy variables, with White as the reference group.

Bolded associations p < 0.05.

IL-6 (Interleukin-6), TNF-α (Tumor Necrosis Factor-α), DII (Diet Inflammatory Index).
