What is a healthy resting heart rate for women?

Heart is the number of times heart beats in one minute. Resting heart rate is the heart rate calculated at rest or during no physical activity. But, the ideal time to calculate it is in the morning, after a healthy sleep. A recent research has proved that the resting heart rate can predicts the coronary events in the post menopausal women. Women with high resting rates are more likely to suffer from the coronary diseases than women with the lower rates. And, the women with high resting heart rate are often associated with a risk of developing type-2 diabetes. Lower the resting heart rate, healthier and fit is the person. A lower resting heart shows an efficient and healthy heart. The factors that can affect resting heart rate are age (usually increases with age), stress, body weight, medications, physical activity, fitness level etc. According to National Institutes of Health, 60- 100 beats per min of resting heart rate are normal for an averaged woman while for a well- trained athlete; the range can be as low as 40-60 beats per min.

The normal rate indicates how we are fit & healthy. Normal heart rate ranges lies btw 60-100beats per min(BPM).
It varies different age group-
age btw 18-65+( for athletes), resting heart rate lies btw 54-60 beat per min.
18-65+( for excellent health group), resting heart rate lies btw 61-65 beat per min.
18-65+( for good health group), resting heart rate lies btw 66-69beat per min.
18-65+( above average health group), resting heart rate lies btw 69-73beat per min
18-65+( average health group), resting heart rate lies btw 73-78 beat per min.
18-65+( below average health group), resting heart rate lies btw 79-84 beat per min
