TABLE 3.

Negative affect associated with greater underestimation of VMS recalled at the end of the day as compared to VMS prospectively reported or physiologically measured throughout the day

Daytime VMS
End of day recalled - prospectively reported VMS End of day recalled – physiologically measured VMS
B(SE) B(SE)
Trait anxiety −1.96(1.06)b −3.13(1.53)a
Depressive symptoms −0.42(0.28) −0.61(0.36)b

Covariates: Age, race/ethnicity, postmenopausal status, and BMI. Note that each psychological variable is considered in a separate model. State anxiety, trait anxiety, and depressive symptoms were natural log transformed.

a

P<0.05

b

P<0.10

Note: Negative coefficient represents greater underestimation of VMS when recalled than prospectively reported or physiologically measured with higher negative affect.
