Average respiratory rate reported in a healthy adult at rest is usually given as 12 breaths per minute (12⁄60 Hz)[1][2] but estimates do vary between sources, e.g., 12-20 breaths per minute, 10-14,[3] between 16-18,[4] etc. With such a slow rate, more accurate readings are obtained by counting the number of breaths over a full minute.
