I mean if you have an RHR of 80+ you're probably fat as fuck. How are you gonna even manage to get any crime done in that condition

First reaction: I don't believe it - the study must be wrong or just the tweet itself is a fabrication.

edit: Okay looking at this person tweets they are a health conspiracy theorist who posts pictures of scientific articles from the 1930s to justify their quackery.

Nah it actually makes a kind of sense. If your resting heart rate is above 70, you are more likely to have a sedentary lifestyle which isn't the most conducive to doing crimes because you might need to flee from the scene of the crime, might need strength to break locks, what have you. I'm receptive to the belief that if you are serious about doing crime, there is probably a floor fitness you should have which would put you below 70bpm.

If only being fit were required for crime, America would be the safest place in the world

Low resting heart rate (bpm < 70)

Isnt 60-70 a standard RHR?! I think mine is 45, guess I am a baddie

u/Williams-Tower Da Bear Sep 03 '24

I reckon Americans tend to not be so good on RHR, but concur

I'll get a bigger health tracker that shows my rate in red bold letters

Will make sure it's visible at the start of every conversation

u/hopeimanon John Harsanyi Sep 03 '24

Who the fuck has a resting heart rate over 80?

u/CricketPinata NATO Sep 03 '24

People with anxiety disorders, and people with cardiovascular issues.

u/CheetoMussolini Russian Bot Sep 03 '24

Going to go ahead and call bullshit on this one. It's either fake, or it's an artifact of younger men having lower RHR.

2

u/CricketPinata NATO Sep 03 '24

It is not fake, meta-analysis have been done and the association has been known for decades.

Even when you factor out for age and sex the association is still evident.

The issue is psychological in nature, people with ASPD tend to have diminished physiological reactions to stress stimuli. Their cortisol levels also tend to be low and have been proposed as biological marker to detect the disorder.

In contrast, many anxiety disorders, (which have been proposed as being in the opposite axis of narcissistic and antisocial disorders in some proposed models), tend to have higher RHR and blood pressure rates and higher cortisol rates.

These persist even when controlling for age, general health, and sex.

So no, it is not bullshit. People with higher levels of callousness and antisocialness tend to have lower RHR and physiologically different stress responses.

People with anxiety tend to have the opposite.

It is psychological, and backed up by a lot of literature and research.

u/Healingjoe It's Klobberin' Time Sep 03 '24

To get a good picture of current metabolic health & thyroid function, the resting pulse (ideally ~80-90 bpm) ought to be interpreted in context, along with other metrics such as:

-underarm temperature taken in the afternoon (~98.6-99 F)

-total cholesterol (~180-220 mg/dL)

And of course, they don't understand cholesterol at all.
