Abstract
Objective: To investigate the characteristics of beta wave amplitude in the prefrontal, frontal, and central regions in healthy adults with range of age from 25 to 61 years old and some related factors. Subject and method: A total of 92 healthy adults were collected and EEG was examined and analyzed at the department of Functional Diagnosis, Military Hospital 103 from June to December 2023. Beta wave amplitude was analyzed in dominant regions including the prefrontal, frontal, and central regions in both hemispheres. Result: The average value of beta wave amplitude in the prefrontal, frontal and central regions in the left hemisphere were 21.5µV, 20.3µV, and 25.7µV and in the right hemisphere were 20.0µV, 18.2µV, and 22.9µV, respectively. Age was positively correlated, weight and height were negatively correlated with beta wave amplitude in the frontal region in the right hemisphere. Height was negatively correlated with beta wave amplitude in the right prefrontal region. Increased beta wave amplitude in the right hemisphere of the right prefrontal region was observed in women. Conclusion: The results show the average amplitude of beta wave in the prefrontal, frontal, and central regions in both hemispheres in Vietnamese adults. Age, gender, height, weight, BMI are factors influencing beta wave amplitude.
