Table 3 Univariate and multivariate analysis for the relationship between lipoperoxides levels and the score of the tests conducted in postmenopausal women

	Univariate		Multivariate
Test	r	p value	Unstandardized β (standard error)	p value
Coopersmith Self-Esteem Inventory	−0.030	0.385	0.0007 (0.0003)	0.034
Total WHOQoL	−0.298	0.002	−0.001 (0.0005)	0.016
Zung Self-Rating Anxiety	0.256	0.006	0.0004 (0.0005)	0.501
Zung Self-Rating Depression	0.213	0.018	0.0003 (0.0006)	0.593

Data show Pearson correlation coefficient and p value, and multiple linear regression parameters, using LPO levels as dependent variable and the scores of tests as independent variables, the model was adjusted by number of cigarettes consumed and hours of sleep by day and BMI as pro-oxidant life-style factors. R = 0.389, R² = 0.151, p = 0.036
