Associations between autonomic nervous system activity and continuous metabolic components at age 5–6 years.

Note. The residuals from all models were normally distributed and variances were homogeneous. The R2 represents the unadjusted explained variance.Model 1: adjusted for age, sex and time of the day of measurement (when SBP or total metabolic profile were the outcome, additional adjustment for child’s height)Model 2: Model 1 + education level, ethnicity, sports participation, screen time, hours of sleep and anxiety.WHtR = Waist to height ratio, HDL = High density lipoprotein cholesterol, TG = triglycerides, SBP = Systolic blood pressure, PEP = pre-ejection period, HR = Heart rate, RSA = Respiratory Sinus Arrhythmia, CAB = Cardio-autonomic balance, CoAR = cardiac autonomic regulation.† Defined as sum of z-scores of WHtR, SBP, TG, -1xHDL, Glucose* p** p*** pAssociations between autonomic nervous system activity and continuous metabolic components at age 5–6 years.
