| Popis: | Alterations with ageing in the responses of heart rate (HR), urinary excretion of free epinephrine (E) and norepinephrine (NE) and anxiety were investigated during mild mental stress. Forty-eight normal male volunteers were studied: in control conditions; when subjected to psychometric tests; and during recovery. Men in their seventies had lower baseline levels of HR, E and NE than men in their fifties. Several anxiety indices were positively correlated with E. HR and NE were positively correlated. During stress, mean HR and E levels increased in the two age groups by the same percentages. Mean HR and E levels returned to pre-stress values more slowly in the older age group. |
