Research Abstract	Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) is a leading cause of infants under one year of age. In this study, heart rate spectral analysis and detrended fluctuation analysis (DFA) were made in infants with sudden unexpected death and control infants. DFAα_1 was decreased in SIDS cases compared with control infants. This result reflects abnormal control of autonomic nervous system in SIDS cases.
