Electrocardiographic and ballistocardiographic changes in 179 clinically healthy men aged 21 to 60 years are reported. Pathological changes in ECG have been registered with advancing age as well as changes in BCG type according to Brown's classification, prolongation of the distances between ECG peak R and the peaks of BCG waves, and a reduction of the amplitudes of BCG segments. In comparison with the youngest group [21 to 30 years of age] the changes described were statistically significant, especially in individuals in the fifth and sixth decades.
