Is it true that higher levels of systemic inflammation are associated with a greater risk of major depression in adults?
Unclear. Three placed sources report positive associations between inflammatory markers and depression, but each covers only a narrow population: depressed patients versus controls, older adults with comorbid sleep apnea, and adults with diabetes. None establishes the general claim that higher systemic inflammation raises major depression risk in adults.
