Typical resting heart rates for people living at high altitudes can vary depending on the specific altitude and age group. Based on available data from studies of inhabitants, specific values have been observed at different elevations.
Research examining heart rate values in people living at various altitudes provides insight into these variations. One study presents data for inhabitants at different elevations, showing distinct heart rates for different age ranges.
According to Table 1 from the study "Values of heart rate at rest in children and adults living at different ...", the resting heart rates for inhabitants aged 51 to 80 years at specific high altitudes were recorded as follows:
| Meters Above Sea Level | Age Range (51 to 80 years) | Resting Heart Rate (HR) | Sample Size (N for 1-5 years) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 3250 | 51 to 80 years | 72.8 | 140 |
| 3600 | 51 to 80 years | 72.8 | 30 |
| 3950 | 51 to 80 years | 75.5 | 38 |
These values represent the observed average resting heart rates in the studied populations within the 51 to 80-year age bracket living at these particular high altitudes. It's important to note that these are specific data points for residents and may differ for individuals visiting high altitude or for other age groups or health statuses.
