Influence of family history of hypertension on blood pressure and heart rate variability in young adults: a meta-analysis.

Purpouse: This meta-analysis evaluates the impact of family history of hypertension (FHH + ) on blood pressure (BP) and heart rate variability (HRV) in young adults.

Methods: Observational studies that evaluated adults (aged between 18 and 40 years) of both sexes, are without cardiometabolic disease diagnosis, are published in English, and are reporting on the influence of FHH + (father, mother, or both) on BP and HRV were included. In June 2021, we made a search of the electronic database MEDLINE (accessed by PubMed).

Physical activity influences heart rate variability in young adults, regardless of dextrose ingestion.

Introduction: Cardiac autonomic modulation can be altered by carbohydrate ingestion. On the other hand, some of the protective effects of physical activity may be due to its impact on the autonomic nervous system.

Purpose: This cross-sectional study was conducted to evaluate whether physical activity level influences heart rate variability (HRV) under fasting and mainly, after dextrose ingestion.

Isolated Obesity Is Not Enough to Impair Cardiac Autonomic Modulation in Metabolically Healthy Men.

Purpose: To evaluate whether excess body mass influences the heart rate variability (HRV) indexes at rest, and to correlate adiposity indicators and the aerobic fitness with cardiac autonomic variables in metabolically healthy young adults.

Method: In all, 41 untrained males (M= 21.80, SD = 2.
