Key result
Age and cardiovascular risk factors were associated with a decline in cardiovagal control, with three principal components explaining 69% of the total variance in baroreflex sensitivity.
Population
80 subjects participating in the Copenhagen City Heart study, mean age 59 ± 11 years, 43 women.

Hypothesis-generating for baroreflex sensitivity as a risk marker; prospective validation needed before clinical consideration.
Cross-Sectional (n=80)
The cardiovagal part of the baroreflex arch correlates with cardiovascular risk factors and may serve as an indicator of cardiovascular risk.
Louise Brinth Kirsten Pors (2013) conducted a cross-sectional in Healthy subjects or general population (n=80). Age and cardiovascular risk factors was evaluated on Baroreflex sensitivity (BRS). Age and cardiovascular risk factors were associated with a decline in cardiovagal control, with three principal components explaining 69% of the total variance in baroreflex sensitivity.
