摘要

This report presents national reference data on resting pulse rate (RPR), for all ages of the U.S. population, from 1999-2008. During 1999-2008, 49,114 persons were examined. From this, a normative sample comprising 35,302 persons was identified as those who did not have a current medical condition or use a medication that would affect the RPR. RPR was obtained after the participant had been seated and had rested quietly for approximately 4 minutes.
