Effect of obesity on parasympathetic nervous system
Journal Title: Indian Journal of Clinical Anatomy and Physiology - Year 2018, Vol 5, Issue 2
Abstract
In the present study obese subjects body Mass Index gt30 kgm2 and nonobese subjects Body Mass Index lt25kgm2 were selected with to study the effect of obesity on the parasympathetic nervous system To test the functioning of parasympathetic nervous system in these two groups heart rate variation during deep expiration and during deep inspiration EI ratio as well as heart rate variation during supine and immediately in standing position 3015 ratio were calculated The expirationinspiration ratio was significantly lower in obese subjects as compared to nonobese subjects Thus obesity is associated with altered parasympathetic nervous system which may result in various cardiovascular complicationsKeywords Body Mass Index Expirationinspiration ratio Parasympathetic nervous system
