If you are interested in development of -SDNN- over time conditional
on -Glu-, it could make
sense to run a growth model which would involve an interaction between
time and -Glu-. For
an example, have a look at Hesketh/Skrondal's introductory book
(http://www.stata.com/bookstore/mlmus2.html)
, p. 211ff.
