Key result
Metabolically healthy obesity was not associated with significant differences in unadjusted heart rate variability compared to metabolically unhealthy obesity in premenopausal women.
Why the study?
Does heart rate variability differ between metabolically healthy and metabolically unhealthy obese premenopausal women?
Population
42 obese premenopausal women
Comparison
Metabolically unhealthy obese (MUO) phenotype vs Metabolically healthy obese (MHO) phenotype
Design
Cross-sectional

Unadjusted HRV similar in metabolically healthy vs unhealthy obesity; leaves open whether metabolic adjustment reveals autonomic differences in premenopausal women.
Cross-Sectional (n=44)
Yes
Does heart rate variability differ between metabolically healthy and metabolically unhealthy obese premenopausal women?
In obese premenopausal women, heart rate variability does not significantly differ between metabolically healthy and unhealthy profiles unless adjusted for specific metabolic parameters like systolic blood pressure or waist circumference.
Marina Rastović (2016) conducted a cross-sectional in Obesity (n=44). Metabolically healthy obesity vs. Metabolically unhealthy obesity was evaluated on Heart rate variability (HRV). Metabolically healthy obesity was not associated with significant differences in unadjusted heart rate variability compared to metabolically unhealthy obesity in premenopausal women.
