AGE-ADJUSTED NORMAL TOLERANCE LIMITS FOR CARDLOVASCULAR AUTONOMIC FUNCTION ASSESSMENT IN THE ELDERLY

CHARLES V. CLARK, Research Fellow* and ROY MAPSTONE, Consultant Ophthalmic Surgeon

Glaucoma Unit, St Paul's Eye Hospital Old Hall Street, Liverpool L3 9PF

* Present address: Eye Pavilion, Chalmers Street, Edinburgh EH3 9HA.

Autonomic nerve function was assessed in 85 normal subjects (mean age 66.1±10.2 years) by a series of standard tests based upon cardiovascular reflexes. Age-adjusted normal tolerance intervals were established for each test. The clinical application of autonomic function assessment in the elderly is discussed, with particular reference to patients with diabetes mellitus, ocular hypertension, and primary glaucoma, which represent a significant proportion of the aged population.

accepted in revised form March 17, 1986.
