The association between burnout, depression, anxiety, and inflammation biomarkers: C-reactive protein and fibrinogen in men and women.

Following the demonstrated association of employee burnout or vital exhaustion with several risk factors for cardiovascular disease (CVD) and CVD risk, the authors investigated the possibility that one of the mechanisms linking burnout with CVD morbidity is microinflammation, gauged in this study by high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) and fibrinogen concentrations. Their sample included 630 women and 933 men, all apparently healthy, who underwent periodic health examinations. The…

Gender by chronic stress interaction effects accounted for a significant, albeit small, amount of variance in CRP, and underscore the importance of considering gender as an effect modifier in analyses of stress—CVD risk relationships.

The high levels of CRP and hs-CRP are associated with the presence of depression in elderly patients, but not with the anxiety, and further and complex studies need to validate these findings.

The results suggest that EA is not necessarily associated with a higher risk for physical diseases through inflammatory pathways, however, EA is a serious mental illness that is widespread in athletes, at least at a subclinical level.

No potential biomarkers for burnout were found, and the need for a dimensional and longitudinal approach in future research to account for the heterogeneity of burnout is emphasized.

Similar to depression, GAD was associated with elevated levels of CRP, but the effect of GAD on CRP levels was explained by the effect-related behaviors such as BMI and medication use, and differences in the association between inflammation and depression and GAD are suggested.

Results from the multivariable linear mixed models show that individuals with higher depression scores have higher levels of hs-CRP, and body mass index appears to be a partial mediator of this relationship.

It is confirmed that there is a statistically robust association between depressive symptoms and increased levels of CRP and evidence that the association is due presence of a chronic condition is not found.

Depressive symptoms are only weakly correlated with CRP, and the relationship between depression and clinical coronary disease is unlikely to be explained through direct effects on CRP levels, but may be mediated by BMI.

The findings suggest that the A allele of the TNF-α −308 G/A polymorphism may mediate inflammation with exhaustion in a dose-response relationship, while with the GG wild-type exhaustion severity seems unrelated to CRP levels.
