Persistent vocalizations (PVs) are a common behavioral symptom of dementia. There are currently no known studies examining physiological measurement in nursing home (NH) residents with dementia exhibiting PVs. Measures of heart rate (HR) could provide objective evidence of a person's response to a disruption in their internal or external environment. This was a two-case observational study involving NH residents with advanced dementia. HRs were collected via a sensor belt. We found a 39-45 bpm increase in HRs in both participants when comparing a day without PVs to a day exhibiting PVs. This is the first study to demonstrate a change in HR associated with PVs and potential evidence of stress in the person in response to either an internal or external stimuli.
持续性发声（PVs）是痴呆症常见的行为症状。目前尚无针对患有持续性发声的痴呆症疗养院（NH）居民进行生理测量的研究。心率（HR）测量可以提供一个人对其内部或外部环境干扰做出反应的客观证据。这是一项涉及患有晚期痴呆症的疗养院居民的两例观察性研究。心率通过传感器带收集。我们发现，与无持续性发声的一天相比，两名参与者在出现持续性发声的那天心率均增加了39 - 45次/分钟。这是第一项证明心率变化与持续性发声相关的研究，也是该人对内部或外部刺激做出反应时压力的潜在证据。
