LH individuals also appear to have more cardiovascular disease (CVD) related conditions like diabetes and cancer. FMD was significantly ( p  = 0.043) lower in LH (6.1% ± 3.2%) compared to RH (7.6% ± 3.8%), independent of age, sex, race, BMI, and HDL. Additionally, SDNN was lower ( p  = 0.041) in LH (47.4 ± 18.8 ms)
