approaching significanceP = 0.07
Although there was no overall difference between groups in terms of telomere length or measures of oxidative stress and inflammation (IL-6 and F2-isoprostanes and Vitamin C levels), IL-6 concentrations were inversely correlated with telomere length in the depressed group ( F = 3.29, P < 0.05) and was approaching significance among all participants ( F = 2.45, P = 0.07).
