AbstractAbnormalities of the autonomic nervous system have been repeatedly shown in hypertension. We studied the associations between being overweight, blood pressure, cardiac vagal tone as measured by variability in heart rate, and well-being in a large cohort of young men. We hypothesised an inverse correlation between body mass index and the variability in heart rate. Further, we assessed systolic and diastolic blood pressure as traditional indicators of cardiovascular risk. Exclusion criteria were the use of drugs or pharmaceuticals. The following data from 786 men with a mean age of 19.4 years (standard deviation = 1.4, with a range from 16 to 24 years) were analysed in a cross-sectional study: body mass index, sleep duration, sporting activities, psychological well-being, blood pressure, heart rate, and variability in heart rate. Despite the young age of the men in this study, increased values for the body mass index were already associated with a shift in sympathovagal balance trending towards sympathetic dominance. There was also a significant positive correlation between body mass index and systolic and diastolic blood pressure. A multiple stepwise regression analysis showed that significant factors, which were associated with variability in heart rate, were body mass index and sporting activities. In addition, sporting activity and sleep duration had a significant positive impact on psychological well-being. Even in young men, being overweight is associated with increased cardiovascular risk, especially an increased sympathetic and/or lowered cardiovascular tone and increased blood pressure. Our study gives additional motivation for the early prevention and treatment of obesity in childhood and adolescence.

The Relationship

The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between VO2max and the 1/2-mile run-walk and the reliability of each in children with mental retardation (MR). Twenty-three children (13 boys, 10 girls) with mild or moderate MR participated in the study. Two maximal treadmill protocols with metabolic measurements and two 1/2-mile run-walk trials were randomly conducted on separate days. There was no difference between Trial 1 and Trial 2 for VO2max (28.2 vs. 29.6 ml · kg−1 · min−1), maximal heart rate (175 vs. 177 bpm), or run-walk time (7.2 vs. 7.1 min). The test-retest correlations were r = .90 for VO2max, r = .81 for maximal heart rate, and r = .96 for the 1/2-mile run-walk (p < .05). The correlation between VO2max and the 1/2-mile run-walk was r = −.60 (p < .05). Adding body mass index to the model improved R to .67 (SEE = 7.3). The 1/2-mile run-walk was a reliable test, but had questionable validity as an indicator of aerobic capacity in children with mild and moderate MR.

School Students

The aim of the present study was to analyse body composition, anxiety, cardiovascular, and physical activity factors related with academic performance of school students as well as to analyse differences, by age, in these factors. We analysed in 266 primary school students’ (8.81 ± 1.62 years, range: 5–13 years) heart rate, anthropometric variables to calculate body mass index, physical activity performance, anxiety levels and academic results by the average of marks. Students were divided in two different groups, firstly by their lower or higher academic performance, and secondly by age. Results showed a negative correlation between academic performance and age, weight, body mass index and trait anxiety variables. Additionally, significant differences were found by age, presenting older students higher scores in body mass index and lower physical activity, trait anxiety, heart rate and academic performance values than younger students. Overweight and obesity may have a great impact in academic performance in children and we pointed out the necessity to establish programs related with healthy habits which include improvements in physical activity and nutrition behaviours with the objective to enhance children’s health general status, psychological profile, cognitive and motor development, and academic performance.

Abstract Background Overweight and obesity are related to the risk of new-onset atrial fibrillation (AF). Peak atrial longitudinal strain (PALS) is an advanced echocardiographic parameter of left atrial (LA) function with a recognized diagnostic and prognostic role in both the general population and AF. Purpose To investigate the impact of body mass index (BMI) on LA function by utilizing standard and advanced echocardiography in patients with non-valvular AF. Methods In the NeAfib-Echo registry, 395 consecutive adult patients with non-valvular AF (F/M: 175/220; mean age 70.6 ± 11 years, BMI: 27.8 ± 5.6 kg/m²) were enrolled. 215 patients (54.1%) had permanent/persistent AF (prAF) and 178 (45.9%) had paroxysmal AF (pxAF). Anthropometric parameters and blood pressure (BP) were recorded and CHA2DS2VASc score was calculated. Patients underwent a complete echo-Doppler exam, including determination of PALS and left ventricular (LV) global longitudinal strain (GLS) (both reported in absolute values). The overall population was divided according to BMI tertiles: first tertile &lt;25.3 Kg/m² (n = 127); second tertile 25.3-29 Kg/m² (n = 137); third tertile &gt; 29.3 Kg/m² (n = 130). Results No significant difference of sex prevalence, age, systolic BP and heart rate was found among the three BMI tertiles, whereas diastolic BP was higher in the third tertile (p &lt; 0.001). CHA2DS2VASc score did not significantly differ among tertiles. In the pooled population LV mass index (LVMi) (p = 0.001) progressively increased from the first to the third tertile (p &lt; 0.001), whereas LA volume index, LV ejection fraction (EF), GLS and E/e" ratio were not significantly different among the three groups. PALS was lower in third tertile (14.3 ± 8.2%) versus both the first (19.0 ± 11.5%) and the second tertile (17.7 ± 10.6%) (p &lt; 0.002). In separate sub-analyses according to AF type, PALS was significantly lower in the first than the third tertile in the PxAF group (p &lt; 0.01) but not in patients with PrAF (p = 0.158). In the pooled population PALS was significantly related with BMI (r= -0.17, p &lt; 0.001) (Figure) but also with age, heart rate, LVMi, LV EF, GLS, E/e’ ratio and pulmonary artery systolic pressure (PAPS). By a multilinear regression analysis, after adjusting for CHA2DS2VASc score, LV mass index, LV EF, E/e’ ratio and PAPs, BMI remained independently associated with PALS (standardized β coefficient = -0.127, p &lt; 0.02) (cumulative R² =0.41, SEE = 8.5%, p &lt; 0.0001). Conclusions In patients with non valvular AF, overweight and obesity exert a detrimental effect on LA function as testified by the gradual PALS reduction with the increase of BMI tertiles. BMI is associated with PALS independently of several confounders including CHA2DS2VASc. Besides CHA2DS2VASc score, BMI could be considered as an additional factor for evaluating cardiovascular risk in non valvular AF. Abstract P814 Figure. Relation between BMI and PALS
