Adjusted values of FEV1% predicted and FEV1/FVC% predicted by combined IL-6, CRP and depressive symptoms. (A) Adjusted values of FEV1% predicted by combined IL-6 and CRP levels; (B) Adjusted values of FEV1/FVC% predicted by combined IL-6 and CRP levels; (C) Adjusted values of FEV1% predicted by combined GDS and inflammation levels; (D) Adjusted values of FEV1/FVC% predicted by combined GDS and inflammation levels. Adjusted: smoking, BMI, No. of chronic inflammatory diseases. High GDS (> = 5), Low GDS (less than 5); High Inflammation: high IL-6 and high CRP; Moderate Inflammation: high IL-6 or high CRP; Low Inflammation: low IL-6 and low CRP. Error bar stands for standard error. Bonferroni was used for post-hoc test. FEV1 = forced expiratory volume in 1 second; FVC = forced vital capacity; IL-6 = interleukin 6; CPR = C-reactive protein; GDS = Geriatric Depression Scale. *** p < 0.001, * p < 0.05 vs. the Low IL-6 & Low CRP group; ## p < 0.01 vs. the High IL-6 | High CRP group; +++ p < 0.001, + p < 0.05 vs. the Low GDS & Low inflammation group.
