The current study investigated high-frequency heart rate variability (HF-HRV) as a potential mediator between childhood parental warmth and later health and mortality outcomes. Participants were 1,255 adults (56.9% female). Childhood parental warmth was reported retrospectively at mean age 46; resting HF-HRV was measured at mean age 57; cardiovascular health and self-evaluated health were assessed at mean age 57 and 63, and mortality records extracted at mean age 63. Results revealed a positive association between childhood parental warmth and resting HF-HRV, as well as associations between higher HF-HRV and reduced risk of having a later cardiovascular health problem and of mortality by age 63. Mediation analyses revealed a small significant indirect effect of parental warmth, through HF-HRV, on cardiovascular health.
本研究调查了高频心率变异性(HF-HRV)作为童年时期父母温暖与后期健康及死亡率之间潜在中介因素的情况。参与者为1255名成年人(56.9%为女性)。在平均年龄46岁时回顾性报告童年时期的父母温暖情况;在平均年龄57岁时测量静息HF-HRV;在平均年龄57岁和63岁时评估心血管健康和自我评估的健康状况,并在平均年龄63岁时提取死亡率记录。结果显示,童年时期父母温暖与静息HF-HRV之间存在正相关,以及较高的HF-HRV与63岁时患心血管健康问题和死亡风险降低之间存在关联。中介分析显示,父母温暖通过HF-HRV对心血管健康产生了小而显著的间接影响。
