Abstract
Characteristics of basal heart rate during daily life: Influences of age, gender, and seasons
Highlights
Increase in heart rate (HR) is widely used as an index of physical and mental stress in laboratory studies
The basal HR was highest for the age bin of 0-4 yr (85 ± 22 bpm for males and 85 ± 23 bpm for females) in both sexes (Figure 3B)
In this study we investigated the characteristics of basal HR by the analysis of 24-h heartbeat big data of the Allostatic State Mapping by Ambulatory ECG Repository (ALLSTAR) project
Summary
Increase in heart rate (HR) is widely used as an index of physical and mental stress in laboratory studies. For HR during ambulatory monitoring, the reference value of HR is lacking; the HR data of individual subject cannot be assessed appropriately. To interpret the meaning of HR data, it is necessary to set the value as the reference point for each individual. Resting HR has been used for this purpose, the definition of resting HR has not been established and the effects of time of the day (circadian rhythm) on resting HR have not been considered. One of the most promising candidates for the reference point is basal HR, i.e., the lowest HR in the day.
