Inflammation predicts new onset of depression in men, but not in women within a prospective, representative community cohort

Abstract Depression has been associated with increased inflammation. However, only few large-scale, prospective studies have evaluated whether inflammation leads to new cases of depression and whether this association can be found in men and women. Longitudinal data of N = 10,357 adult participants...
