TLDR
Elevated hs-CRP levels can independently predict risk of all-cause, cardiovascular mortality in the general population, however, the gender differences in the predictive role of hs -CRP on cancer mortality should to be further investigated.

More than a feeling: A unified view of stress measurement for population science.

TL;DR: An integrative working model is articulated, highlighting how stressor exposures across the life course influence habitual responding and stress reactivity, and how health behaviors interact with stress, and a Stress Typology articulating timescales for stress measurement is offered.
Journal ArticleDOI

Rethinking IL-6 and CRP: Why they are more than inflammatory biomarkers, and why it matters.

TL;DR: It is argued that both IL-6 and CRP participate in somatic maintenance efforts; hence elevated levels indicate that an organism is investing in protection, preservation, and/or repair of somatic tissue.

Research Progress on the Relationship between Atherosclerosis and Inflammation.

TL;DR: Atherosclerosis is a chronic inflammatory disease; unstable atherosclerotic plaque rupture, vascular stenosis, or occlusion caused by platelet aggregation and thrombosis lead to acute cardiovascular disease.

Prevalence of low-grade inflammation in depression: a systematic review and meta-analysis of CRP levels

TL;DR: The findings suggest that inflammation could be relevant to a large number of patients with depression, and over half of patients show mildly elevated CRP levels.

Preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta-analyses: the PRISMA Statement.

TL;DR: The QUOROM Statement (QUality Of Reporting Of Meta-analyses) as mentioned in this paper was developed to address the suboptimal reporting of systematic reviews and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials.

Measuring inconsistency in meta-analyses

TL;DR: A new quantity is developed, I 2, which the authors believe gives a better measure of the consistency between trials in a meta-analysis, which is susceptible to the number of trials included in the meta- analysis.

Bias in meta-analysis detected by a simple, graphical test

TL;DR: Funnel plots, plots of the trials' effect estimates against sample size, are skewed and asymmetrical in the presence of publication bias and other biases Funnel plot asymmetry, measured by regression analysis, predicts discordance of results when meta-analyses are compared with single large trials.
