Obesity-related cardiovascular disease in children is becoming more prevalent in
conjunction with the rise in childhood obesity. Children with obesity are predisposed to an …

Background: Obesity is known to be a multifactorial disease. In its pathogenesis, different
factors such as chronic inflammation, oxidative stress, insulin resistance, genetic factors …

Background Obese people have a higher prevalence of cardiovascular disease, which is
supposed to be due to autonomic dysfunction and/or metabolic disorder. The alterations in …

Objective To assess the distribution of autonomic nervous system (ANS) dysfunction in
overweight and obese children. Methods Parasympathetic and sympathetic ANS function …

Heart rate variability (HRV) analyses can provide a non-invasive evaluation of cardiac
autonomic activity. How autonomic control normally develops in childhood and how this is …

Heart rate variability (HRV) is altered in obese subjects, but whether this is true also in
underweight (UW) subjects is still under debate. We investigated the HRV profile in a …

OBJECTIVES: There are no data in the literature with regard to the acute effects of different
styles of music on the geometric indices of heart rate variability. In this study, we evaluated …

Previous studies have already demonstrated that auditory stimulation with music influences
the cardiovascular system. In this study, we described the relationship between musical …

Reduced heart rate variability (HRV) is associated with overweight and obesity in adults.
However, little is known about this relationship in early childhood. We investigated the …

Background It was reported that autonomic nervous system function is altered in subjects
with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). We evaluated short-and long-term …
