Model 1 is adjusted for age, gender, race and educational level. Model 2 is additionally adjusted for body mass index, smoking status, hypertension, high-density and low-density lipoproteins, diabetes mellitus, alcohol consumption, beta agonist/anticholinergic use, beta-blocker use, and calcium channel blocker use.

SDNN: standard deviation of normal-to-normal intervals; RMSDD: root mean square of successive differences in RR intervals
