*
Values greater than 0 indicate increased symptom impact associated with the predictor. Adjusted estimated % difference obtained from multivariable regression model controlling for all predictors listed in the table.
a
indicates p < .05
b
indicates p < .01
c
indicates p < .001
d
Women were considered to have hot flashes if they reported being at least “moderately” bothered by hot flashes in the past month.
