HRV Chart by Age (RMSSD)
Where your watch's HRV sits among age norms — and why your own baseline beats every chart.
HRV varies 10× between healthy individuals — genetics set the level, which is why comparing absolute numbers with friends is meaningless while *trend versus your own 60-day baseline* is gold: sustained drops flag illness, overtraining, alcohol and poor sleep days in research and practice alike. Higher generally reflects stronger parasympathetic (recovery) tone; it falls naturally with age.
