Significant sex differences were observed in sympathetic and parasympathetic components of HRV, while age was not correlated with any HRV parameters (R -0.21 to 0.27).

Overview

May inform sex-specific short-term HRV norms in young adults; leaves open generalizability and clinical utility.

Structured PICO

P
Population
93 healthy adult subjects (18–50 years), mean age 28 (SD 8) years.
I
Intervention
Short-term heart rate variability (HRV) measurement over a 5-minute period at rest in the supine position.
O
Outcome
Short-term HRV parameters including mean R-R intervals, SD of normal-to-normal R-R intervals, RMSSD, and spectral powers (VLF, LF, HF, total).surrogate

The study provides normal ranges for short-term HRV in healthy young adults, highlighting significant sex differences but no age correlation within this demographic.

Limitations

  • Did not investigate hormone status, catecholamines, or plasma cholesterol levels as possible explanations for HRV differences.
