摘要
The results support the possibility that differences in cardiac autonomic modulation between pet owners and nonowners are a physiologic mechanism underlying the differences in survival between these groups. Pet owners exhibited increased short-and intermediate-term HRV indexes, and in the case of dog owners, longer term HRV indexes.
