TY - JOUR PY - 2015// TI - Low resting heart rate as an unequivocal risk factor for both the perpetration of and exposure to violence JO - JAMA Psychiatry A1 - Raine, Adrian SP - 962 EP - 964 VL - 72 IS - 10 N2 -
Low resting heart rate (RHR) has for some time been suspected to be a risk factor for crime and violence. One prior meta-analysis of 40 studies with a combined sample of 5868 individuals documented an association between low RHR and high antisocial and aggressive behavior in child and adolescent samples. But questions remain. Is low RHR also a robust risk factor for adult violence? Does it prospectively predict violence? And what about less serious offenses such as traffic violations?
