    Heart rate variability in men decreases with age. Resting heart rate, however, showed no significant age-related changes in this study.

    Area of Science:

    • Physiology
    • Gerontology
    • Cardiovascular Health

    Background:

    • Heart rate variability (HRV) is a key indicator of autonomic nervous system function.
    • Age-related changes in cardiovascular parameters are well-documented, but HRV trends require further elucidation.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the relationship between age and heart rate variability in healthy adult males.
    • To determine if mean heart rate is also affected by aging in this demographic.

    Main Methods:

    • Recruited 14 healthy male subjects across a wide age range (22-63 years).
    • Measured heart rate variability under resting conditions.
    • Analyzed the correlation between subject age and HRV metrics, as well as mean heart rate.

    Main Results:

    • A significant negative correlation was observed between age and heart rate variability.
    • Mean heart rate did not exhibit a statistically significant association with increasing age.

    Conclusions:

    • Autonomic nervous system function, as reflected by HRV, declines with advancing age in men.
    • Mean heart rate may be a more stable cardiovascular parameter than HRV across the adult lifespan.
