Why the study?
Autonomic dysfunction occurs in obese adults and children, but comprehensive evaluation of autonomic status in young adults is scant.
Does Body Mass Index affect cardiovascular autonomic functional status in healthy young adults?
Does Body Mass Index affect cardiovascular autonomic functional status in healthy young adults?
May support early ANS screening in obese young adults; leaves open causal mechanisms and intervention effects.
Introduction: Autonomic nervous system (ANS) is involved in energy metabolism and regulation of the cardiovascular system. Autonomic dysfunction has been suggested to occur in obese individuals in both adults and children but a comprehensive study of the autonomic status in young adults is scant. So aim of the study was to evaluate and compare cardiovascular autonomic functions in young adults on the basis of BMI.
