Fig. 2. Mean percentage change in brachial artery diameter by postmenopausal psychosocial trait scores among HRT nonusers. BMI and baseline lumen diameter were included as covariates in the analysis. Means were calculated for high and low groups using the upper and lower third of the distributions of psychosocial trait scores, respectively. Among HRT nonusers, higher Bortner Type A behavior, Spielberger trait anger, and Beck depression scores were associated with less brachial artery vasodilation.
