Random Population Sample

BackgroundResting heart rate (RHR), a known cardiovascular risk factor, changes with age. However, little is known about the association between changes in RHR and the risk of cardiovascular events. The purpose of this study was therefore to assess the impact of RHR at baseline, and the change in RHR over time, on the risk of all-cause death and cardiovascular events.DesignA random population sample of men born in 1943 who were living in Gothenburg, Sweden was prospectively followed for a 21-year period.MethodsParticipants were examined three times: first in 1993 and then re-examined in 2003 and 2014. At each visit, a clinical examination, an ECG and laboratory analyses were performed. Change in RHR between 1993 and 2003 was defined as a decrease if RHR decreased by 5 beats per minute (bpm), an increase if RHR increased by 5 bpm or stable if the RHR change was <4bpm).ResultsParticipants with a baseline RHR of >75 bpm in 1993 had about a twofold higher risk of all-cause death (HR 2.3, CI 1.2 to 4.7, p=0.018), cardiovascular disease (CVD) (HR 1.8, CI 1.1 to 3.0, p=0.014) and coronary heart disease (CHD) (HR 2.2, CI 1.1 to 4.5, p=0.025) compared with those with <55 bpm in 1993. Participants with a stable RHR between 1993 and 2003 had a 44% decreased risk of CVD (HR 0.56, CI 0.35 to 0.87, p=0.011) compared with participants with an increasing RHR. Furthermore, every beat increase in heart rate from 1993 was associated with a 3% higher risk for all-cause death, 1% higher risk for CVD and 2% higher risk for CHD.ConclusionHigh RHR was associated with an increased risk of death and cardiovascular events in men from the general population. Moreover, individuals with an increase in RHR between 50 and 60 years of age had worse outcome.

The Impact

Patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), asthma and interstitial lung diseases (ILD) frequently suffer from cardiovascular comorbidities (CVC). Exercise training is a cornerstone intervention for the management of these conditions, however recommendations on tailoring programmes to patients suffering from respiratory diseases and CVC are scarce. This systematic review aimed to identify the eligibility criteria used to select patients with COPD, asthma or ILD and CVC to exercise programmes; assess the impact of exercise on cardiovascular outcomes; and identify how exercise programmes were tailored to CVC. PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science and Cochrane were searched. Three reviewers extracted the data and two reviewers independently assessed the quality of studies with the Quality Assessment Tool for Quantitative Studies. MetaXL 5.3 was used to calculate the individual and pooled effect sizes (ES). Most studies (58.9%) excluded patients with both stable and unstable CVC. In total, 26/42 studies reported cardiovascular outcomes. Resting heart rate was the most reported outcome measure (n = 13) and a small statistically significant effect (ES = −0.23) of exercise training on resting heart rate of patients with COPD was found. No specific adjustments to exercise prescription were described. Few studies have included patients with CVC. There was a lack of tailoring of exercise programmes and limited effects were found. Future studies should explore the effect of tailored exercise programmes on relevant outcome measures in respiratory patients with CVC.

Health Related Fitness

The possibility of predicting health related fitness using questions on occupational and leisure activity was explored in 172 men and 178 women. ANOVA and multiple regression equations related questionnaire responses to objective fitness measures including body mass index, circumferences, skinfolds, body fat, blood glucose, uric acid, total cholesterol, HDL-cholesterol and triglycerides, PWC150, blood pressures, and resting heart rate. Reported occupational activities bore little relationship to health related fitness. Self-perceptions of moderately frequent and moderately intense leisure activity, plus at least average perceived fitness relative to age-matched peers, were associated with a favourable body fat content and lipid profile, whereas indicators of cardiovascular health (a low resting heart rate and a high PWC150) were linked with perceptions of frequent and intense activity, plus a perceived fitness level higher than that of a peer reference group. Based on these findings, a simple scoring of reported activity for use in fitness counseling is suggested. Key words: cardiovascular fitness, leisure activity, metabolic fitness, occupational activity, perceived activity

Abstract Background High resting heart rate (RHR) is associated with increased adverse events. However, the long-term prognostic value in a general population is unclear. We aimed at investigating the impact of RHR, based on baseline as well as time-updated, on mortality in a middle-aged men cohort. Methods A random population sample of 852 men, all born in 1913 was followed from age 50 until age 98 with repeated examinations including RHR during 48 years. The impact of baseline and time-updated RHR on cause-specific mortality was assessed using Cox proportional hazards models and cubic spline models. Results Baseline RHR ≥90 beats per minute (bpm) was associated with higher all-cause mortality as compared to RHR 60–70 bpm (hazard ratio [HR] 1.60, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.17–2.19, P=0.003), but not with cardiovascular (CV) mortality. A time-updated RHR &lt;60 bpm (HR 1.41, 95% CI 1.07–1.85, P=0.014) and a time-updated RHR of 70–80 bpm (HR 1.34, 95% CI 1.02–1.75, P=0.036) were both associated with higher CV mortality as compared with the RHR of 60–70 bpm after multivariable adjustment. Analyses using cubic spline models confirmed that the association of time-updated RHR with all-cause and CV mortality complied with a U-shaped curve with 60 bpm as a reference. Conclusions In this middle-aged men cohort, a time-updated RHR at 60–70 bpm was associated with lowest CV mortality, suggesting that time-updated RHR could be a useful long-term prognostic index in the general population.

Various lifestyle behaviors have been known to affect health-related quality of life (HRQL) and life expectancy. However, the impact on quality-adjusted life years (QALYs), which can be used for health economics, has not been clarified. The purpose of this study was to estimate the impact of lifestyle behaviors on lifetime QALYs. We first examined the relationship between lifestyle behaviors and HRQL as measured by the EQ-5D-5L among 4000 participants via a web-based survey. The results of multiple regression analysis showed that physical activity and sleep were significantly related to HRQL. Therefore, we used microsimulation to estimate QALYs from physical activity and sleep, which were determined to be significant in the regression analysis. The results showed that there was a difference of 3.6 QALYs between the recommended lifestyle scenario (23.4 QALYs; 95%CI 3.6 to 35.1) and the non-recommended lifestyle scenario (19.8 QALYs; 95%CI 3.1 to 31.6). This difference was greater in the younger age group than in the older age group. The results also indicated a large difference in QALYs between physical activity and sleep. These findings may provide a significant suggestion for future health promotion measures.

Artefact Correction

Measures of heart rate variability (and heart rate more generally) are providing powerful insights into the physiological drivers of behaviour. Resting heart rate variability (HRV) can be used as an indicator of individual differences in temperament and reactivity to physical and psychological stress. There is increasing interest in deriving such measures from free ranging wild animals, where individuals are exposed to the natural and anthropogenic stressors of life. We describe a robust, externally mounted heart rate monitor for use in wild mammals, deployed here on wild breeding adult female grey seals (Halichoerus grypus), that delivers millisecond precise measures of inter beat intervals (IBIs), allowing computation of resting HRV parameters. Based on Firstbeat™ heart rate belts, our system allows for remote, continuous recording of IBI data from over 30 individuals simultaneously at ranges of up to 200m. We assessed the accuracy of the IBI data provided by the Firstbeat™ system using concurrent IBI data derived from in-field electrocardiogram (ECG) recordings. Bland-Altmann analyses demonstrated high correspondence between the two sets of IBI data, with a mean difference of 0.87±0.16ms. We used generalized additive mixed-effects models to examine the impact of the default Firstbeat™ software artefact correction procedure upon the generation of anomalous data (flats and stairs). Artefact correction and individual activity were major causes of flats and stairs. We used simulations and models to assess the impact of these errors on estimates of resting HRV and to inform criteria for subsampling relatively error free IBI traces. These analyses allowed us to establish stringent filtering procedures to remove traces with excessive numbers of artefacts, including flats and stairs. Even with strict criteria for removing potentially erroneous data, the abundance of data yielded by the Firstbeat™ system provides the potential to extract robust estimates of resting HRV. We discuss the advantages and limitations of our system for applications beyond the study system described here.

BackgroundTo quantify the current burden of myopia and hyperopia in Austrian young men and the time trend of myopia in the past 35 years by individual and social correlates.MethodWe included data on all Austrian military conscripts from 1983 to 2017 (n=1 507 063) from six medical investigation stations. Young men provided data on education, weight and height for calculating body mass index, blood pressure and resting heart rate. Non-cycloplegic refractions were measured by an autorefractometer. Spherical equivalent was calculated by standard formula (sphere+cylinder/2, unit dioptres (D)). Myopic refractive error was defined as <−0.5 D). Hyperopic refractive error was defined as >0.5 D.ResultsThe largest burden of refractive error in Austria is myopia, which rose from 13.8% to 24.4% over 35 years, with less than 5% hyperopic population. Over time, the prevalence of myopia was constantly lower yet increased more rapidly among those with low education levels (11.4%–21.7%) compared with those with higher education (24.5%–29.6%) in all medical investigation stations. We found consistent associations of some unfavourable health indicators (underweight: ORs 1.1–1.4, higher resting heart rate: all p trend <0.001) with higher myopia prevalence, which point towards lifestyle factors playing an important role in the development of myopia.ConclusionPrimary preventive measures are needed to curb the observed trend in myopia among Austrian young men. Future research should investigate the impact of modifiable factors on myopia development and progression, particularly lifestyle factors that are dramatically shifting.

Aims: To investigate the effect of elevated resting heart rate (RHR), hypertension (HTN) and associated risk factors on the prevalence of stroke among Sudanese adults.  Study Design: This is a cross-sectional study based on a survey conducted by Sudanese society of hypertension during the May Month of Measurement (MMM), 2018 campaign. Methods: A total of 12281 respondents (mean age: 32.5±14.5 years, 49% men) were included. Structured questionnaires of demographic data, and self-reported medical history were filled by all respondents and analyzed.  Blood pressure and RHR were measured using an Omron BP monitor. Participants were divided into two main cohorts: normotensive (n=9497, 77.3%) and hypertensive (n=2784, 22.7%) participants. Each cohort was then segregated into three sub-cohorts using RHR tertiles (T1: <79 bpm; T2: RHR: 79 to 100 bpm; and T3:>100 bpm). Results: Multivariate logistic regression analyses were performed to assess the individual and combined effect of RHR and HTN on prevalence of stroke. Hypertensive patients were more likely to develop stroke compared to normotensive participants (OR= 2. 968, 95% CI 2.028-4.345). Within the hypertensive cohort, RHR T3 participants had a significantly increased risk of stroke compared to RHR T1-T2 combined (OR= 2.35, 95% CI1.043-5.323). Individuals of RHR T3 sub-cohort were more likely to be younger, leaner and displayed significantly higher level of both systolic & diastolic blood pressure compared to RHR T1 and T2 groups. Diabetes Mellitus and smoking increased the odds of stroke among both normotensives (OR (95% CI):5.6 (2.24- 14.09), 3.17 (1.71-6.08 respectively), and hypertensives (OR (95% CI): 4.40 (2.26-8.58), 2.03 (0.95-4.32) respectively). Female gender and older age also increases the odds of stroke among hypertensives (OR (95% CI): 1.85 (1.00- 3.45) and 2.00 (1.02- 4.17) respectively.   In conclusion, this study demonstrated that HTN was an independent risk factor of stroke. The effect of elevated RHR on stroke was only prominent when joined to high blood pressure. Prevalence of tachycardia was higher among the young participants which make them more prone to stroke if the condition is associated with HTN. Our results highlight the importance of addressing elevated RHR to reduce the risk of stroke particularly among hypertensive patients.

Cvd Mortality

Abstract Background Higher resting heart rate (RHR) has been proved as a risk factor for all-cause and cardiovascular disease (CVD) mortality. However, few studies discussed its synergy with other markers on mortality prediction. Our study focused on whether the impact of RHR on CVD mortality is affected by serum albumin (SA) in Japanese general population. Methods We followed 8,307 participants without history of CVD from a Japanese general population. We divided participants according to quartiles of RHR [Q1(&lt;62), Q2(62-68), Q3(69-76), and Q4(&gt;76)], then we used Cox proportional hazard model adjusting for age, gender, BMI, blood glucose, blood pressure, anti-hypertensive treatment, total cholesterol, smoking and alcohol drinking status for estimating CVD mortality. Furthermore, we stratified the participants according to median value of SA (4.4 mg/dL) to conduct subgroup analysis. Results During a 29-year follow-up, 1,030 deaths due to CVD were detected. Compared to Q1 group, hazard ratios [95% confidence interval] in each RHR group for CVD mortality was Q2: 0.87 [0.74-1.04], Q3: 1.01 [0.85-1.20], Q4: 0.98 [0.83-1.16]. In lower SA group, Q2: 0.90[0.72-1.13], Q3: 0.99 [0.80-1.25], Q4: 1.27 [1.03-1.58], meanwhile in higher SA group, Q2: 0.83 [0.63-1.09], Q3: 0.99 [0.77-1.29], Q4: 0.65 [0.49-0.85]. Conclusions Higher RHR was associated with increased risk for CVD mortality in individuals with lower SA, meanwhile the reversed relationship shown in those with higher SA. Key messages The impact of RHR on CVD mortality might be influenced by SA in a Japanese general population.
