Objective, But Not Subjective, Measures of Early Life Adversity Are Associated with Elevated Serum Levels of High-sensitivity C-reactive Protein in Middle-aged Men
Abstract:Introduction: Early life adversities have been suggested to associate with immune dysregulation in later life. Nevertheless, most earlier studies have relied on retrospective self-reports of early adversity. Objectives: To investigate the association between serum high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP) levels and objective and subjective measures of early adverse experiences in a population-based sample of 770 men aged 42-61 years. Aims: To test whether objectively recorded early adversities associate wit… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
