Pearson r Correlations Between Risk Factors, Depression, and Coronary Artery Atherosclerosis

Variables Averaged Over the Entire Experiment	% Time Spent Depressed	Coronary Artery Atherosclerosis Extent (mm²)
% Time spent depressed		0.73^***³
% Time locomoting	−0.61^***	−0.53^**
TPC	0.57^***	0.86³
HDLC	−0.40^*	−0.66^***
24-Hour heart rate	0.57^**	0.67^***
Mean peak progesterone (ng/ml)	−0.35	−0.52^**
Basal cortisol (µg/ml)	−0.23	−0.45^*
Cortisol AUC in CRH test	−0.32	−0.40^*

AUC = area under the curve; CRH = corticotrophin-releasing hormone.
