Multifractal age? Multifractal analysis of cardiac interbeat intervals in assessing of healthy aging
arXiv:1301.1019
Abstract
24-hour Holter recordings of 124 healthy people at different age are studied. The nocturnal signals of young people reveal the presence of the multiplicative structure. This structure is significantly weaker in diurnal signals and becomes less evident for elderly people. Multifractal analysis allows us to propose qualitative and quantitative methods to estimate the advancement of the aging process for healthy humans.
