Key result
Resting LDL-c was positively associated with diastolic (β=0.64, p=0.003) and systolic (β=0.64, p=0.005) blood pressure reactivity to cold pressor stress in healthy students.

Association in healthy students is hypothesis-generating; leaves open prospective validation of lipids and stress reactivity in broader populations.
Observational (n=19)
Are resting plasma lipids associated with cardiovascular reactivity to acute psychological stress in healthy university students?
Effect estimate: β = 0.64
p-value: p=0.003
Higher LDL-c and triglycerides are associated with exaggerated blood pressure and vascular resistance responses to acute psychological stress in healthy young adults.
Austin et al. (2015) conducted an observational in Healthy (n=19). Resting plasma lipids (LDL-c, HDL-c, triglycerides) was evaluated on Diastolic blood pressure (DBP) and systolic blood pressure (SBP) cold pressor reactivity (β = 0.64, p=0.003). Resting LDL-c was positively associated with diastolic (β=0.64, p=0.003) and systolic (β=0.64, p=0.005) blood pressure reactivity to cold pressor stress in healthy students.
