Resting Heart Rate and Cognitive Decline: A Meta-Analysis of Prospective Cohort Studies.

ABSTRACT:

Background and purpose

Several previous meta-analyses have identified an association between cognitive decline and heart rate variability, which reflects autonomic nerve activity. This systematic review and meta-analysis investigated the impact of increased resting heart rate (RHR) on the incidence of cognitive decline, including dementia.

Methods

The PubMed, Embase, and PsycInfo databases were searched for relevant prospective cohort studies published before April 18, 2022. A methodological quality assessment of the included studies was conducted using the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale. Summary estimates of the incidence of cognitive decline, including dementia, were generated using a random-effects model. Potential publication bias was evaluated using Begg's funnel plots and Egge
