| Abstract | BACKGROUND & AIMS: Subjects with obesity had autonomic nervous abnormalities. This study investigated autonomic nervous modulation in subjects with obesity and its association with the indices of obesity, especially the body mass index and waist circumference, by heart rate variability analysis. METHODS: Forty-seven adults with a body mass index (in kg/m(2)) greater than 28 were recruited as the obese group and 30 subjects with a body mass index less than 23 were recruited as the control group. Anthropometric measures and heart rate variability measures were obtained for both groups. The correlation between heart rate variability measures and the anthropometric measures was assessed in subjects with obesity. RESULTS: Subjects with obesity had lower normalized low-frequency power and normalized high-frequency power than those of the control group. The body height, body weight, waist circumference and waist-to-hip ratio correlated significantly with the spectral heart rate variability measures in Asian subjects with obesity, whereas the body mass index did not. CONCLUSIONS: Abdominal obesity, rather than general obesity, was related to autonomic nervous derangement in Asian subjects with obesity. The close relation between abdominal obesity and autonomic derangement may partially account for the close relationship between abdominal obesity and higher risk of mortality and morbidity in subjects with obesity. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
