coefficient of variation

I have collected repeated measures on a number of patients as well as several categorical variables. I am interested in determining what influence the categorical variables have on the variability/dispersion of the repeated measures. Can one use the CofV as a dependent variable and do univariate and multivariate regression analysis?

The usual method for that is ANOVA, is rater strange to correlate variation with categorical variables.
