This is at odds with a previous cross-sectional study that found stronger associations between wellbeing and CRP and fibrinogen for women than men (Steptoe et al., 2012), but echoes previous research on depression and inflammation, which found stronger relationship between the two in men (Liukkonen et al., 2006, Penninx et al., 2003). Here, CRP is linked to depressive symptom measurement.
