Previous studies demonstrated that metabolic changes were related to cortisol. However, broad immune marker patterns in COC users remain insufficiently characterized, despite evidence of inflammatory involvement. This study investigates COC-related alterations in broad immune marker profiles and whether these are related to cortisol.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Data from 392 premenopausal women (128 COC users) of the general population-based SHIP-TREND-0 cohort were analyzed using linear models to estimate differences between COC users and non-users. Immune markers included basic inflammation parameters and a broad panel of cytokines, growth factors, and chemokines. Indirect effects through cortisol were tested in structural equation models.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Compared to non-users, COC users had higher cortisol (\u03b2=1.24, p&amp;lt;0.001). Higher CRP (\u03b2=0.97, p&amp;lt;0.001), and vascular growth factors (i.e., PDGF-AB\/BB and VEGF-A; both \u03b2=0.27, p&amp;lt;0.05) in COC users were related to cortisol (indirect effects: 0.21 to 0.30; all p&amp;lt;0.05). COC users had fewer monocytes (\u03b2=-0.52, p&amp;lt;0.001) and altered chemokine levels (i.e., lower eotaxin and higher MIG levels; \u03b2=-0.58 and 0.36, all p&amp;lt;0.001), for which no indirect effects were detected.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Discussion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>COC use was associated with broad immune profiling, representing one of the first broad immune marker assessments in COC users.
