- Macrophage Inhibitory Cytokine 1 mediates 23% of the link between depressive symptoms and incident coronary heart disease.
- Study used meta-analyses across multiple cohorts to validate findings, applying strict statistical corrections.
- Suggests future research on proteomic mechanisms to target psychosocial impacts on cardiovascular health.
