Table 5.

The regression coefficients (β) estimates and standard error (SE) of Log-HOMA-IR on HRV indices using 24-hour data, daytime (9 AM to 9 PM) and nighttime (9 PM to 9 AM next day) data separately from linear mixed-effects models analysis.

Abbreviations: BPM, beats per minute; HF, high frequency power; HOMA-IR, homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance; HRV, heart rate variability; LF, low frequency power; Log, logarithm; M, mean; RMSSD, square root of the mean of the sum of the squares of differences between adjacent RR intervals; SDNN, standard deviation of all RR intervals.

Models: M1, unadjusted; M2, adjusted for age, sex, race, hypertension, and cardiovascular diseases.

Beta = one SD increase of Log HOMA-IR.

*, and **, P < 0.05, and P < 0.001, respectively.
