Key result
Adolescent and adult females demonstrated a significantly higher HF/LF ratio compared to males, while ageing was associated with a significant decline in HRV power components.
Why the study?
Are there gender differences in age-associated changes in cardiac autonomic nervous activity as measured by HRV in healthy individuals aged 6 to 55 years?
Observational
Are there gender differences in age-associated changes in cardiac autonomic nervous activity as measured by HRV in healthy individuals aged 6 to 55 years?
Gender differences in age-related HRV changes are present in adolescents and adults, suggesting a potential role for female sex hormones in cardiac autonomic modulation.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Gender-specific HRV reference values may warrant consideration in autonomic assessments; leaves open whether differences alter cardiovascular risk prediction.
Moodithaya et al. (2011) conducted an observational in Healthy. Female gender and ageing vs. Male gender and younger age was evaluated on Heart Rate Variability (HRV) using frequency domain analysis. Adolescent and adult females demonstrated a significantly higher HF/LF ratio compared to males, while ageing was associated with a significant decline in HRV power components.
