Key result
Central obesity is linked to elevated resting heart rate indicating cardio-vagal dysfunction without altering HRV.
Why the study?
The role of central obesity in autonomic dysfunction and its impact on cardiac autonomic functions in obese young adults was unclear.
Cross-Sectional (n=60)

Elevated resting heart rate may signal early cardio-vagal dysfunction in central obesity; leaves open heart rate variability's sensitivity in young adults.

S et al. (2012) conducted a cross-sectional in Obesity (n=60). Central obesity (BMI > 25) vs. Non-obese (BMI < 25) was evaluated on Cardiac autonomic functions (Resting heart rate, Heart rate variability, Orthostatic Tolerance test). Central obesity was associated with a significantly elevated resting heart rate indicating cardio-vagal dysfunction, though no significant difference was observed in heart rate variability.
