Heart Rate Variability, Cognitive Performance and Cognitive Impairment in Older Adults: Cross‐Sectional Results From the Einstein Aging Study
Higher hf-HRV, indicative of greater cardiac parasympathetic control is associated with lower odds of MCI, or memory impairment and with better global cognition after adjustment for cardiovascular risk factors. Future longitudinal studies are needed to confirm these associations.
