“In this study, using three long-term historical and large cohorts from France, UK and USA, we reported 4 main findings. We confirmed the inverse relation between resting heart rate and life span, firstly, within human populations. Finally, we determined that men and women who increase their resting heart rate over a 5-year period in the Paris Prospective Study I and 8-years period in the Framingham Study, respectively, increase their risk of mortality.”

now reads:
