Depression is associated with discoordination between heart rate variability and physical acceleration in older women
Abstract Background and Aims It is well known that depression is closely associated with the autonomic nervous system and physical acceleration (PA), which may cause functional time‐deviance between these two parameters.

| description | Abstract Background and Aims It is well known that depression is closely associated with the autonomic nervous system and physical acceleration (PA), which may cause functional time‐deviance between these two parameters. Exploring this relationship is important in sustaining the mental and physical health of older adults in daily life. However, few studies have assessed the relationship between depression and the coordination of parasympathetic nervous activity (PSNA) and PA. The present study was designed to investigate whether the coordination between PSNA and PA is associated with the mental state of healthy volunteers in normal daily lives and the underlying mechanism. Methods In total, 95 adult women were divided into non‐older and older groups comprising 50 (aged 20–59 years) and 45 (aged 60–85 years) women, respectively. PSNA and PA data were simultaneously obtained every minute for 24 h during the free‐moving day using the ActiveTracer accelerometer. Lag time was determined as the time difference between PSNA and PA, and it was introduced as a parameter of %lag0, which is the percent ratio of the lag = 0 min between PSNA and PA in 1 h. The General Health Questionnaire 28 (GHQ28) was used to evaluate the effects of psychological distress, including depression. Results In the hour before sleep, %lag0 was significantly lower in older women (38.7 ± 6.4) who had higher GHQ28 values (subscale D = 0, n = 12) compared with that in older women (19.4 ± 10.5) with lower values (subscale D ≧ 1, n = 33) (p < 0.05). Conclusion Impairments in coordination between PSNA and PA are significantly associated with depression in older women, particularly in the hour before sleep on free‐moving days. |
