OBJECTIVE
Anxiety is reportedly prevalent in older adults with dementia living in care homes and, within this population, is most often assessed through caregiver reports. Heart rate variability (HRV) is a physiological indicator of autonomic function, whereby reduced vagally-mediated HRV is associated with a variety of anxiety symptoms and disorders. This study evaluates the feasibility of collecting HRV data within this population, presents HRV data for older adults with dementia living in a care home, and examines HRV in the context of self-reported anxiety. These data were collected during a larger study examining an exercise intervention.
RESULTS
HRV data, in the form of log-transformed root mean square of the successive differences (lnRMSSD), were in line with transformed data from previous research. These data provide a promising direction for the use of wrist-worn devices in future HRV research with people living with dementia in care homes.
目的
据报道，焦虑症在住在养老院的老年痴呆症患者中很普遍，在这一人群中，焦虑症最常通过护理人员的报告来评估。心率变异性（HRV）是自主神经功能的生理指标，迷走神经介导的HRV降低与多种焦虑症状和障碍有关。本研究评估了在这一人群中收集HRV数据的可行性，呈现了住在养老院的老年痴呆症患者的HRV数据，并在自我报告的焦虑背景下检查了HRV。这些数据是在一项更大的研究中收集的，该研究考察了一种运动干预措施。
结果
以连续差值的对数转换均方根（lnRMSSD）形式呈现的HRV数据与先前研究的转换数据一致。这些数据为未来在养老院对患有痴呆症的人群进行HRV研究时使用腕戴式设备提供了一个有前景的方向。
