Objective: The study aimed to investigate the effect of age and sex on the heart rate variability (HRV) analysis and to explore the normal range of HRV in different age and sex groups for potential health care applications.Method: Baseline HRV, age, and sex data were collected frorn 470 subjects without cardiovascular conditions. Short-tern HRV was recorded using Biocom Active ECG units (Biocom, Seattle, Wash). Subjects were divided by age into 10-year intervals and by sex for HRV analysis.Results: Total power, representing the overall autonomic activity, decreased consistently from the age groups 10+ to 80+ years (P
