IL-1α: Interleukin-1α, IL-6: Interleukin-6, TNF-α: Tumor Necrosis Factor-α. GSI: Global Severity Index of the Brief Symptom Inventory. Significance p < 0.05
Multiple linear regression analyses revealed that both IL-1α and IL-6 were associated with depression, hostility, and GSI, and that IL-1α was also associated with Stress, and IL-6 was also associated with anxiety. TNF-α and sex were not significant independent variables of psychological symptoms in any of the regression models (Table 4).
