Abstract

Obesity is considered as one of the most significant health problems around the world, whose prevalence has increased dramatically in recent years.

The aim of the study is the determination of the age-specific features of the daily heart rate variability in subjects with obesity.

Materials and Methods: 118 persons with obesity and overweight in the age of 19-66 years old were examined. The control group included 25 practically healthy persons. А general clinical examination with obligatory measurements of the circumference of the waist and hips, weight and height, daily monitoring of the ECG were conducted to participants of the study.

As a result, the presence of dysfunction of the autonomic nervous system during the day was established in obese patients in all age groups. Young subjects had decrease activity of parasympathetic nervous system and increase of activity of sympathetic nervous system in comparison with subjects without obesity.

Conclusions. Dysfunction of the autonomic nervous system in obesity included the increasing activity of the sympathetic nervous system and decreasing activity of the parasympathetic nervous system in day and night time. There was a progressive decrease in the activity of the parasympathetic nervous system with increasing the age of subjects
