Psychoneuroimmunology has emerged as a field of interest in the modulation of immune function and health changes influenced by Psychosocial stressors(Cytokines). There is excellent evidence that Depression and Anxiety enhance the production of Pro-inflammatory Cytokines, including interlukin-6 (IL-6). Sleep disturbace may also have a variety of of immunological consequences. Chronic inflammation has been suggested as one key biological mechanism to fuel decline in physical function. The association between cardiovascular disease and IL-6 is related in part to the central role that this Cytokine plays in promoting the production of C-reactive protein (CRP), recently recognized as an important risk factor for Myocardial Infarction.
