Similarly, linear correlation analysis was performed to evaluate the relationship between anxiety symptoms (assessed by MASC Total score, MASC anxiety disorder index and the four MAC subscales measuring physical symptoms, social anxiety, harm avoidance and separation anxiety) and biological variables (BMI, HOMA-IR, cytokine IL-6, cytokine TNF-α, liver enzymes-AST, liver enzymes-ALT, cholesterol total levels, and triglycerides levels) also revealed no significant results. Here, TNF is linked to anxiety disorder.
