Sex-specific associations between levels of high-sensitivity C-reactive protein and severity of depression: retrospective cross-sectional analysis of inpatients in China
Levels of hs-CRP show sex-specific associations with depression severity, particularly levels between 2.00 and 10.00 mg/L in men. These findings may help develop personalized anti-inflammatory treatments for depression, particularly for men with hs-CRP levels of 2.00-10.00 mg/L.
