Abstract
Heart rate variability (HRV) is an early marker of risk for various health conditions, and its analysis serves as a valuable tool for assessing older adults. This study aimed to describe the reference values of HRV parameters in older adults through a systematic review of the literature. The review included searches in MEDLINE (via PubMed®), EMBASE, Latin American and Caribbean Health Literature, Scopus, and Web of Science (WOS). Studies presenting reference values for at least one HRV linear analysis measure in older adults were considered eligible. Out of 1618 studies identified, only 11 met the inclusion criteria. Sample sizes of older adults ranged from 21 to 6250 subjects. The HRV measures assessed (mean RR intervals, SDNN, RMSSD, PNN50, LF, HF, and LF/HF ratio) varied significantly between studies, with no standardized methods for HRV analysis. We concluded that reference values for HRV measures in older adults vary widely between studies. The scientific literature on HRV reference values in older adults is still limited, and future studies should standardize assessment methods for HRV measures in this population.
期刊介绍:
Founded in 1964, Psychophysiology is the most established journal in the world specifically dedicated to the dissemination of psychophysiological science. The journal continues to play a key role in advancing human neuroscience in its many forms and methodologies (including central and peripheral measures), covering research on the interrelationships between the physiological and psychological aspects of brain and behavior. Typically, studies published in Psychophysiology include psychological independent variables and noninvasive physiological dependent variables (hemodynamic, optical, and electromagnetic brain imaging and/or peripheral measures such as respiratory sinus arrhythmia, electromyography, pupillography, and many others). The majority of studies published in the journal involve human participants, but work using animal models of such phenomena is occasionally published. Psychophysiology welcomes submissions on new theoretical, empirical, and methodological advances in: cognitive, affective, clinical and social neuroscience, psychopathology and psychiatry, health science and behavioral medicine, and biomedical engineering. The journal publishes theoretical papers, evaluative reviews of literature, empirical papers, and methodological papers, with submissions welcome from scientists in any fields mentioned above.
