Comparisons showed that the patients with alexithymia compared to the patients without alexithymia had 2.3 times higher prevalence of high Gal3BP (39 vs. 17%, p = 0.004), 1.7 times higher prevalence of high sCD163 (30 vs. 18%, p = 0.095), and 1.9 times higher prevalence of high HbA1c (> 70 mmol/mol) (46 vs. 24%, p = 0.006). Here, CD163 is linked to alexithymia.
