Table 3.
Adjusted correlations of change in HRV measures with change in VMS. Analyses (linear regression) controlled for age, menopausal status, smoking status, alcohol use, race/ethnicity, perceived stress, clinical site and BMI. The analysis for the total sample also controlled for intervention group. All VMS measures are the average over the two weeks (at baseline) or one week (at 12-week follow-up). No correlations were statistically significant before or following Type I error correction. VMS=vasomotor symptoms, LF=low frequency, HF=high frequency, HRV=heart rate variability.
