Relationship between heart rate variability and number of medications.
Fig 1.
Difference in the number of medications between atomic bomb survivors and non-atomic bomb survivors.
Values are presented as the mean ± standard error.
Fig 2.
Difference in heart rate variability indexes when participants are classified as taking less than six (N = 38) or six or more (N = 18) medications.
Heart rate variability indexes are the standard deviation of the normal-to-normal RR intervals (SDNN), total power, and very low frequency (VLF). Comparison analysis was adjusted by sex, atomic bomb survivor, chronic disease, age, height, weight, movement frequency, sleep duration, and drinking frequency. Values are presented as the mean ± standard error.

Difference in heart rate variability indexes when atomic bomb survivors are classified as taking less than six (N = 22) or six or more (N = 14) medications.
Heart rate variability indexes are the standard deviation of normal-to-normal RR intervals (SDNN), total power, and very low frequency (VLF). Comparison analysis was adjusted by sex, chronic disease, age, height, weight, movement frequency, sleep duration, and drinking frequency. Values are presented as the mean ± standard error.
