Interleukin 6 (IL-6) and common mental disorder in the Whitehall II study of British civil servants. The figure shows that the increased 10-year risk of common mental disorder associated with high IL-6 levels is more marked when the assessment of IL-6 is based on repeat measurements (age- and sex-adjusted odds ratio=1.61 (95% CI: 1.14–2.28)) than a single measurement (age- and sex-adjusted odds ratio=1.40 (95% CI: 1.07–1.82)). *P<0.05, **P<0.01.
