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

Table 3

Parsimonious linear regression models for cardiovascular reactivity to cold pressor test.

	𝑅^2	𝑑𝑓	𝐹	𝑃	Variables	𝛽	𝑡	𝑃
ΔSBP	0.14	1,46	7.35	0.009	State anxiety	8.72	2.71	0.009
ΔDBP	0.16	1,46	8.63	0.005	State anxiety	7.36	2.94	0.005
ΔMAP	0.15	1,46	7.94	0.007	State anxiety	7.00	2.82	0.007
ΔHR	0.14	1,46	7.48	0.009	State anxiety	6.28	2.73	0.009

The models explained 14% of the variance for SBP, 16% for DBP, 15% for MAP, and 14% for HR.
