HRV/BDNF Improves or, by absence, Degrades Balance, Endurance and Working Memory

In this study balance (fall prevention) and endurance (metabolic health) correlated to processing speed and working memory.  All were either good or not good on a continuum on the same parallel curves indicating a common determinant.

I believe all three (balance, endurance and working memory)  are  related by and directly proportional to BDNF and, by proxy, HRV or autonomic control using accelerator or brakes for control of physiological functions.

More BDNF indicates preserved structure, function and network plasticity.

Stay active physically, mentally and limit stress with a goal of optimum BDNF and optimum HRV.
