  1. a Values of RMSSDc and SDNNc have been natural log transformed
  2. RMSSDc root mean square of successive RR-interval differences corrected for heart rate, SDNNc standard deviation of normal R-R intervals corrected for heart rate. Analyses are adjusted for age, hypertension, diabetes, CHD, total cholesterol and HDL, use of lipid lowering and cardiac medication, BMI
