The discussions reflect that the findings could influence future health assessments and large-scale population studies.

Abstract in brief

This study explores how resting heart rate (RHR), measured continuously over 24 hours using wrist-worn PPG sensors, varies during different times of the day and night, establishing a reliable way to define and measure RHR in large populations.
It found that RHR is lower at night, with the lowest values occurring between 3:00 and 7:00 AM, confirming a circadian rhythm, and that a minimum rest period of 4 minutes is typically needed to accurately measure HR during inactivity.
The research emphasizes the importance of a clear definition and consistent measurement of RHR as a vital health biomarker, providing a standardized approach based on a large sample of healthy individuals over up to 3 months.]
