Table 3.

Results of the Regressions of Cognitive Task Performance (Stop and Go Switch task; SGST) on HT Use for Upper Tertile of Propensity to be an HT User / Healthy User (i.e., women possessing characteristics of HT Users). Women in the highest tertile were likely to be Caucasian or Asian, have lower waist to hip ratios, higher household income, report higher self-esteem, but lower sense of autonomy, use calcium supplements regularly, take more prescription medications, get regular physical exams, and were less likely to have diabetes compared to women in lower propensity score tertiles. Table 3.A. results of regressions on four parameters of SGST performance. Table 3.B. describes results for regression on two subsets of trials for the Mixed-Switch conditions.
