  1. Legend: Data regarding Heart rate variability (standard deviation of all normal RR intervals) of every group are reported [mean and standard deviation(±)]. In addition, the values of the correlation (correl.HRV-...) between Heart rate variability and the other variables reported are shown (referring to the whole sample), with the p values. HRV = Heart rate variability; LI = Lipid index; TC = Total cholesterol; TG = Triglycerides; ApoA and ApoB = Apolipoproteins A and B.
