Unveiling the age ‐related dynamics in Sjögren's syndrome: Insights from heart rate variability and autonomic function
ConclusionThis study demonstrates significant autonomic dysfunction in pSS patients compared to healthy controls, particularly in those positive for both salivary gland biopsy and autoantibodies. The age-stratified analysis further emphasizes the impact of aging on autonomic system functioning in pSS, suggesting a need for age-specific management approaches in pSS patient care.
