“…It has been reported that HRV progressively reduces with age, and development during adolescence can be assessed using the heart rate variability (HRV) [ 72 ]. HRV can be used to ascertain the evolution of the ontogenetic maturation [ 73 – 76 ]. Moreover, the gender influence measured by HRV parameters was manifested only in young adults and younger adolescents and our study group belongs to the same age category.…”

In recent decades reported findings regarding gender differences in reading achievement, cognitive abilities and maturation process in boys and girls are conflicting. As reading is one of the most important processes in the maturation of an individual, the aim of the study was to better understand gender differences between primary school students. The study evaluates differences in Heart Rate Variability (HRV), Electroencephalography (EEG), Electrodermal Activities (EDA) and eye movement of participants during the reading task. Taking into account that colour may affect reading skills, in that it affects the emotional and physiological state of the body, the research attempts to provide a better understanding of gender differences in reading through examining the effect of colour, as applied to reading content. The physiological responses of 50 children (25 boys and 25 girls) to 12 different background and overlay colours of reading content were measured and summarised during the reading process. Our findings show that boys have shorter reading duration scores and a longer Saccade Count, Saccade Duration Total, and Saccade Duration Average when reading on a coloured background, especially purple, which could be caused by their motivation and by the type of reading task. Also, the boys had higher values for the Delta band and the Whole Range of EEG measurements in comparison to the girls when reading on coloured backgrounds, which could reflect the faster maturation of the girls. Regarding EDA measurements we did not find systematic differences between groups either on white or on coloured/overlay background. We found the most significant differences arose in the HRV parameters, namely (SDNN (ms), STD HR (beats/min), RMSSD (ms), NN50 (beats), pNN50 (%), CVRR) when children read the text on coloured/overlay backgrounds, where the girls showed systematically higher values on HRV measurements in comparison to the boys, mostly with yellow, red, and orange overlay colours.

Patients who are going for surgery usually experience anxiety. This can cause physiological responses including palpitations, increased blood pressure, pulse, and also breathing difficulties. For patients with Diabetes Mellitus, anxiety can increase blood glucose levels. This condition can cause delays in surgery, and could potentially increase the patient care costs during their stay in hospital. This research aims to explore the correlation between heightened anxiety and blood glucose levels amongst patients with Diabetes Mellitus. This research used a correlation study with cross sectional approach, with 22 respondents. The technique selection of respondents are using accidental sampling. The validity test of Zung Rating Anxiety Scale 0.85 and the reliability value of 0.79. Bivariate analysis used the Spearmen test. Research concluded that most of respondents had mild anxiety level (59,1%) while some respondents experience normal anxiety (40,9%). Most of the respondents had high glucose levels (68.2%), while some respondents had normal glucose levels (31,8%). The results of the Spearman test revealed P-value = 0.041. Based on the research concluded that there is a correlation between pre-operation anxiety and blood glucose levels amongst patients with Diabetes Mellitus. It is recommended that nurses act to prevent or reduce anxiety in this patient demographic. Keywords: Anxiety level, Glucose Level, Diabetes Mellitus

“…One of the most common indices of glucoregulatory capacity in studies on aging is insulin resistance (Weinstein et al, 2015; Wolf, Tsenkova, Ryff, Davidson, & Willette, 2018). Insulin resistance is inferred from high levels of circulating insulin and is viewed as a sign that the cells require additional insulin for efficient glucose uptake (Chang & Halter, 2003).…”

“…Moreover, the ability to effectively utilize glycemic resources might contribute to preserved well-being in old age. Better glucoregulatory capacity has been associated with positive affect in older adults (Tsenkova, Love, Singer, & Ryff, 2007) and higher purpose in life among middle-aged adults (Boylan, Tsenkova, Miyamoto, & Ryff, 2017), whereas higher insulin resistance predicts greater susceptibility to negative affect in middle-aged samples (Wolf et al, 2018). Diabetes is also associated with increased depressive symptoms in middle-aged and older adults (Golden et al, 2008).…”

Glucose regulation is a key aspect of healthy aging and has been linked to brain functioning and cognition. Here we examined the role of glucose regulation for within-person longitudinal trajectories of well-being. We applied growth models to data from the Berlin Aging Study II (N ϭ 955), using insulin resistance as an index of glucoregulatory capacity. We found that poor glucose regulation (higher insulin resistance) was consistently associated with lower levels of well-being among older men but not women. Our study provides novel evidence for the relevance of glucose regulation for well-being among older men.

Abstract: These results suggest that dysmetabolism is associated with increased emotional reactivity, predisposition toward negative affect, and specific cognitive deficits.
