Investigating the Impact of Total and Visceral Fat on Cardiovascular Sympathetic Functions: A Comprehensive Study | |
Dr. Afroz Ahmad Khan | |
Background:Obesity is marked by an excess accumulation and retention of fat in the body, leading to changes in cardiovascular autonomic functions. The autonomic nervous system, which consists of the Sympathetic and Parasympathetic divisions, plays a crucial role in regulating and modulating various internal functions of the body.Methods:This study adopted a cross-sectional design, focusing on primary data involving 400 healthy male volunteers aged 20 to 35 in the Shivpuri region. Anthropometric data for all participants were gathered using Karada scan, while cardiovascular sympathetic functions were evaluated through sphygmomanometry and electrocardiogram assessments.Results:The ANOVA analysis test conducted in this study indicates a correlation between the increase in visceral fat percentage and a simultaneous rise in sympathetic activity, coupled with a decrease in parasympathetic activity.Conclusion:The study draws a conclusion that a higher percentage of visceral fat is associated with an elevated risk of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality, compared to an increase in the overall percentage of body fat. |
