Applied research for newly developed stress-recovery index with beat-by-beat blood pressure measurement

本研究采用新开发的压力诱导恢复指数和无创血压测量，从生物学角度探讨了136名日本健康男性心血管健康与消极/积极人格之间可能的中介过程。本横断面研究的结果可能表明，心理应激诱导的舒张压恢复功能较低可能介导高LDL胆固醇与抑郁评分较高的参与者较低的积极情绪（性格乐观）之间的关系。

In this work, biological approach for exploring the possible mediating process between the cardiovascular health and negative/positive personality was examined in 136 healthy Japanese men using newly developed stress-induced recovery index with noninvasively measuring blood pressure. The results of this cross-sectional study may indicate that the lower psychological stress-induced recovery function in diastolic blood pressure mediates the relationship between higher LDL cholesterol and lower positive affect(dispositional optimism) in participants with higher score of depression.
