Mean nocturnal respiratory rate predicts cardiovascular and all-cause mortality in community-dwelling older men and women.

ABSTRACT: Respiratory frequency (f _R) predicts in-hospital and short-term mortality in patients with a variety of pathophysiological conditions, but its predictive value for long-term cardiovascular and all-cause mortality in the general population is unknown. Here, we investigated the relationship between mean nocturnal f _R and mortality in community-dwelling older men and women.We measured mean nocturnal f _R during sleep from overnight polysomnography in 2686 men participating in the Osteoporotic Fractures in Men Study (MrOS) Sleep study and 406 women participating in the Study of Osteoporotic Fractures (SOF) to investigate the relationship between mean nocturnal f _R and long-term cardiovascular and all-cause mortality.166 (6.
