Abstract
This study analyzed the correlation between stress measurements calculated through HRV signals and thyroid function test items. 181 healthy adults without disease who visited Clinic K were the subjects of this study. Stress resistance (SR) and stress index (SI) were calculated using the acquired HRV signal, and TSH, Free T4, and T3 were used as thyroid function test items. For the measured values, the relationship between each item was statistically analyzed through Pearson correlation analysis. From the results, it was confirmed that Free T4 and SR had a positive correlation (r=0.18) and a negative correlation with SI (r=-0.16). Through this, it was confirmed that there is a significant relationship between thyroid function and HRV signal.
