It's the first time the correspondence has been shown in women, although it has been previously established in studies focused on men.
A low resting heart rate in women is associated with higher criminality and "unintentional injuries", new research has found.
Sofi Oskarsson of Orebro University and Sweden led the new study, along with her colleagues, involving 12,500 Swedish women who volunteered for military service at around 18 years old.They recorded resting heart rate and blood pressure, and also tracked records for violent and non-violent criminal offences and unintentional injuries for up to 40 years.
Additionally, the team found a significant association between blood pressure and violent crime, but no significant association was found for non-violent crime.
