Association between health-related quality of life and heart rate variability in elderly individuals with cognitive impairment in Korea: cross-sectional study

Cognitive impairment, a characteristic and prior stage of dementia, is a serious public health concern in Korea a country with rapidly aging population. In a neurovisceral integration model, cognitive ability is connected to emotional and autonomic regulation via an interconnection in the brain, whi...

Description
Summary:Cognitive impairment, a characteristic and prior stage of dementia, is a serious public health concern in Korea a country with rapidly aging population. In a neurovisceral integration model, cognitive ability is connected to emotional and autonomic regulation via an interconnection in the brain, which may be associated with health-related quality of life (HRQoL). This study investigated the association between the HRQoL and the autonomic nervous system (ANS) via EuroQoL-5 Dimension (EQ-5D) and heart rate variability (HRV) among 417 patients who visited the Neurology Department in Veterans Health Service Medical Center, Seoul, South Korea. The mean age of 275 patients in the cognitive impairment group (CIG) was higher than that of 142 patients in the normal cognition group (NCG) (74.85 years vs. 72.96 years, p
