High Social Risk and Biomarkers of Systemic Inflammation: A Population-Based Study in Middle-Aged and Older Adults Living in Rural Communities
Social risk is directly associated with biomarkers of inflammation in the study population, suggesting that inflammation may be associated with adverse health outcomes in individuals with high social risk. Study results demonstrate that this association is not only evident in high-income regions but in underserved rural communities as well.
