HUNT Study: Sex-Specific Longitudinal Resting Heart Rate and Heart Failure Risk, 1995-2019

Data Sheet 1 from the Trøndelag Health Study (HUNT) analyzes longitudinal resting heart rate data from 47,712 participants across surveys between 1995 and 2019. The dataset, authored by Linda M. S. Hansen, includes hazard ratios for new-onset heart failure based on RHR categories, continuous RHR, and latent class trajectory models. It was last updated on March 18, 2026.

Use Cases

• Modeling heart failure risk based on longitudinal resting heart rate trajectories.
• Investigating sex-specific differences in cardiovascular risk associations.
• Validating the predictive power of repeated RHR measurements versus single baseline readings.

Strengths

• Includes data from 47,712 participants with a mean follow-up of 12 years.
• Provides specific hazard ratios and 95% confidence intervals for heart failure risk.
• Analyzes longitudinal RHR changes with a mean follow-up of 7 years for trajectory modeling.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count for the underlying data is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• The primary file is a 41.6 KB DOCX, suggesting the dataset is small and likely contains summary results rather than raw participant data.
