Description: The current study investigated whether personality traits and facets predicted levels of Interleukin-6, C-reactive protein, and Fibrinogen and whether physical activity mediated the relationship between personality and these biomarkers of health. High harm avoidance and low neuroticism were associated with elevated IL-6, while high social potency, high control, and low achievement were associated with elevated FGN. Mediation models suggested that physical activity mediated the association between higher levels of achievement and lower IL-6. Physical activity is an important factor in the health behavior model, and explains some of the associations between personality and downstream inflammation.
