Results are shown for four separate multiple linear regression models: VRI (vascular reactivity index), SBP (systolic blood pressure), and DBP (diastolic blood pressure). β = β coefficient; -squared: ; SE: standard error. Units for variables were as follows: age (y), HR (bpm), sex (male = 1; female = 0), SBP, and DBP (mmHg).
