| Abstract: | Age-related changes in heart rate and in its variability might prove to be a suitable parameter to evaluate the physiological
course of advancing age in human beings. We demonstrated higher mean heart rate values and increased heart rate variability
in younger adult subjects. A significant direct relationship was demonstrated by linear regression equation between age and
the product between mean heart rate and heart rate variability. We conclude that the analysis of these parameters may help
assess the aging process of human beings. |
