Abstract

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

SRI questionnaire, ECG machine, glucometer, sphygmomanometer

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.
