Relative Telomere Length (Estimated Mean) by Pain/Stress Groups after Adjustments for Age, Race, Waist-Hip Ratio (WHR), and WHR*Group Interaction. Mean and Standard Error: NPLS - no pain/low stress (1.017 ± .007) NPHS - no pain/high stress (1.000 ± .008). CPLS - chronic pain/low stress (1.001 ± .011). CPHS - chronic pain/high stress (.990 ± .008). Covariate values in the model: WHR, race, and age. *Significant at p < 0.05, Least Significant Difference (LSD).
