AGING, HEART RATE VARIABILITY AND METABOLIC IMPACT OF OBESITY.

The relationship between aging and changes in heart rate variability (HRV) could depend on the metabolic profile of obese people, i.e. metabolically healthy obese (MHO) and metabolically unhealthy obese (MUO).

Association between anthropometric measures of regional fat mass and heart rate variability in obese women.

Aim: Impaired autonomic function could be the mechanism for the development of cardiometabolic diseases in obesity. Hence, simple anthropometric measures of overall and central obesity could be screening markers for autonomic imbalance. We analysed the relationship between heart rate variability (HRV) parameters and obesity indicators.

HEART RATE VARIABILITY IN METABOLICALLY HEALTHY AND METABOLICALLY UNHEALTHY OBESE PREMENOPAUSAL WOMEN.

Content: Metabolically healthy obese (MHO) individuals are characterized by absence of metabolic syndrome. The role of autonomic nervous system in metabolic profile of obese subjects has not been sufficiently investigated.

Objective: We analyzed heart rate variability (HRV) in MHO and metabolically unhealthy obese (MUO) premenopausal women.

Anthropometric indicators of mass and distribution of adipose tissue in the assessment of cardiovascular and diabetes risk in women.

Introduction: From the clinical and epidemiological point of view it is very important to define easily measurable and simple anthropometric parameters of mass and distribution of adipose tissue that will also be good predictors of future complications of obesity. The aim of our study was to correlate anthropometric indicators of mass and distribution of adipose tissue with the risk of developing cardiovascular diseases and diabetes.

Material And Methods: The study group consisted of 155 women aged 45.

Birth weight and metabolic risk in women of different nutrition levels.

Introduction: Nowadays, obesity is one of the most important health problems in both developed and developing countries. Recent studies have shown a significant association of obesity and its complications with birth weight. The aim of our study was to analyze the effect of birth weight on the occurrence of metabolic disorders in normal weight and obese women.
