Luisa, Include time and glu_std interaction (glu_std*time) in your model and that will tell you how that association carried out over time. Hope this helps Michael Michael A Ghebre Research Fellow in Medical Statistics Centre for Environmental and Preventive Medicine Wolfson Institute of Preventive Medicine Barts and the London School of Medicine and Dentistry Queen Mary University of London Charterhouse Square London EC1M 6BQ Email : m.a.ghebre@qmul.ac.uk Tel : 02078826267 http://www.wolfson.qmul.ac.uk -----Original Message----- From: owner-statalist@hsphsun2.harvard.edu [mailto:owner-statalist@hsphsun2.harvard.edu] On Behalf Of Luisa Soares-Miranda Sent: 30 June 2011 16:09 To: statalist@hsphsun2.harvard.edu Subject: Re: st: linear mixed models doubt in how to interpret the Coef Dear Maarten, Thank you for your help. But even though can I say that a longitudinal analyze of the associations between Glu and SDNN was cerried out? thanks Luisa On Thu, Jun 30, 2011 at 3:57 PM, Luisa Soares-Miranda <luisasoaresmiranda@gmail.com> wrote: > Dear all, > I am writing you because I am performing a longitudinal mix models > analyses as the following > > xi: xtmixed sdnn i.year_of_visit gender age smoke alcohol > waistcinrcunfrence_std pa_std tasis_std trg_std glu_std hdl_std > || id: i.year, covariance(identity) > > I have 3 years of data, my main doubt now is how can I interpret my > Coefficient?
