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

Note. Goodness-of-fit tests showed no evidence of lack of fit (P>0.23). 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 = Cardiac autonomic balance, CoAR = cardiac autonomic regulation.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† Defined as 3 or more out of 5 adverse components* p** p*** pAssociations between autonomic nervous system activity and risk for adverse metabolic components at age 5–6 years.
