Zusammenfassung:Objectives To present population-based resting heart rate (RHR) percentiles and associated factors in children and adolescents. Study design Standardized RHR measurements with an oscillometric device were obtained from 3- to 17-year-olds who participated in the German Health Interview and Examination Survey for Children and Adolescents (n = 11 986). Age- and sex-specific RHR percentiles were derived using flexible age-dependent modeling. Linear regression was used to test associations of RHR and associated factors. Results RHR decreased with age and mean RHR was on average 3.0 beats per minute (bpm) higher in girls than in boys ( P
