This study established reference limits for resting pulse rate in adolescents aged 12-18 in Turin, Italy. Findings show pulse rate varies by gender and decreases with age and growth, offering insights into cardiovascular risk factors.

Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Cardiology
  • Public Health
  • Biostatistics

Background:

  • Resting pulse rate is a potential cardiovascular risk factor in youth and adults.
  • Establishing normative data is crucial for identifying deviations.
  • Adolescent cardiovascular health requires specific reference ranges.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate resting pulse rate and its distribution in Italian adolescents.
  • To define reference limits for resting pulse rate in this population.
  • To assess the relationship between pulse rate, age, gender, and somatic growth.

Main Methods:

  • Systematic quantitative resting pulse rate measurements.
  • Random enrollment of 2230 adolescents (aged 12-18) from Turin Junior High Schools.

  • Measurements included pulse rate, blood pressure, and height.

    • Main Results:

    • Pulse rate was higher in girls compared to boys.
    • Resting pulse rate progressively decreased with age in both genders.
    • Somatic growth was associated with a decrease in pulse rate.

    Conclusions:

    • The study provides reference values for resting pulse rate in male and female adolescents.
    • These reference limits can aid in assessing cardiovascular risk factors in youth.
    • The findings highlight the influence of age, gender, and growth on adolescent pulse rate.
