State Anxiety Is Associated with Cardiovascular Reactivity in Young, Healthy African Americans

Table 4

Parsimonious linear regression models for cardiovascular reactivity to anger recall.

	𝑅^2	𝑑𝑓	𝐹	𝑃	Variables	𝛽	𝑡	𝑃
ΔSBP	0.12	1,49	6.39	0.015	State anxiety	7.33	2.53	0.015
ΔDBP	0.12	1,49	6.69	0.013	State anxiety	4.59	2.59	0.013
ΔMAP	0.20	1,49	11.67	0.001	State anxiety	5.60	3.42	0.001
ΔHR	0.02	1,49	1.08	0.303	State anxiety	2.02	1.04	0.303

The models explained 12% of the variance for SBP, 12% for DBP, 20% for MAP, and 2% for HR.
