Key result
Higher at-rest heart rate and waist-to-hip ratio were associated with reduced parasympathetic activity and global heart rate variability in young patients with type 1 diabetes.
Cross-Sectional (n=39)
In young patients with type 1 diabetes, higher resting heart rate and waist-to-hip ratio are associated with reduced parasympathetic activity and heart rate variability.

Hypothesis-generating for autonomic assessment in young T1D; leaves open causal links and intervention targets.
Silva et al. (2016) conducted a cross-sectional in Type 1 diabetes (n=39). At-rest heart rate and waist-to-hip ratio was evaluated on Association between heart rate variability indices and physical/clinical features. Higher at-rest heart rate and waist-to-hip ratio were associated with reduced parasympathetic activity and global heart rate variability in young patients with type 1 diabetes.
