Stress involves alteration in behavior, autonomic function and the secretion of several hormones such as cortisol, corticosterone, and adrenal catecholamines[1].

blood pressures, blood glucose level, mean RR, and SI were positively correlated, whereas body temperature, mean HR, HRV Index, LF, and HF were inversely correlated with ages (Pearson's correlation, p < 0.05). All stress factors scores were negatively correlated with ages (p < 0.001). In the present study, age was newly found to be correlated with geometrical features such as HRV index, and SI at moderate levels (−0.398 ∼ 0.421). In addition, all physiological measures were found to be dependent on ages although at low levels in our subjects (0.244∼0.392). Normalized HRV features such as LF/HF.
