Data on serum lipids and heart rate reactivity to a standardized mental arithmetic stressor were collected on 54 healthy men and 73 healthy women. Subjects' ages ranged from 18 to 61 years, allowing analysis of data from both young and older subgroups. MANOVA revealed that age was directly associated with elevated lipids in men and women. There was no significant relationship between reactivity and lipids for either older or younger men. Conversely, young women showed a significant direct relationship between reactivity and Total Cholesterol and LDL, but this was not present for older women. Implications of these data for the previously reported hypothetical relationship between reactivity and lipids are discussed. Limitations of the study are examined, and future directions for research suggested.
收集了54名健康男性和73名健康女性关于血清脂质以及对标准化心算应激源的心率反应性的数据。研究对象的年龄在18岁至61岁之间，从而能够对年轻和年长亚组的数据进行分析。多变量方差分析显示，年龄与男性和女性的血脂升高直接相关。对于年长或年轻男性，反应性与血脂之间均无显著关系。相反，年轻女性的反应性与总胆固醇和低密度脂蛋白之间存在显著的直接关系，但年长女性不存在这种关系。讨论了这些数据对先前报道的反应性与血脂之间假设关系的影响。研究了该研究的局限性，并提出了未来的研究方向。
