Respiratory Sinus Arrhythmia as a Physiological Resilience Marker for Children’s Health
Objective
The current study aimed to test parasympathetic nervous system activity, indexed through resting respiratory sinus arrhythmia (RSA) as a resilience factor that moderates the associations between socioeconomic status (SES), circulating cytokines, and somatic health in children.
Methods
The sample included 181 parent-child dyads (mean [standard deviation] child age = 9.91 [0.57] years; 50.3% boys). Parents reported on family income, parental education, and subjective social status, to index SES. Children provided serum samples for assaying circulating inflammatory cytokines and had RSA measured during a ...

Conclusions
In clinically stable patients with CAD, the tendency to suppress angry and hostile feelings, particularly openly aggressive behavior, was associated with DLI. These findings warrant a study in larger cohorts, and intervention studies are needed to ascertain whether management strategies that modify these psychological characteristics improve outcomes.
