Table 2. Time domain analysis of all subjects and subgroups based on visceral fat rating.
| Variables | All | G 1 (VFR = 1-8) | G 2 (VFR = 9-12) | G 3 (VFR > 12) | p value | p value adjusted |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| N | 99 | 51 | 30 | 18 | ||
| Average HR (bpm) | 59.86 ± 6.06 | 58.89 ± 5.37 | 59.96 ± 6.42 | 62.47 ± 6.84 | 0.098 | 0.122 |
| Average RR (s) | 1.02 ± 0.10 | 1.03 ± 0.09 | 1.01 ± 0.10 | 0.97 ± 0.11 | 0.090 | 0.117 |
| SDNN (ms) | 1.664± 0.258 | 1.776± 0.229b c | 1.543± 0.258 | 1.548± 0.193 | 0.000 | 0.007 |
| RMSSD (ms) | 1.666 ± 0.258 | 1.779 ± 0.225b c | 1.543± 0.259 | 1.553± 0.202 | 0.000 | 0.006 |
Data is presented as mean ± SD; G: group; VFR: visceral fat rating; N: number of participants; Average RR: the average time between QRS complexes (i.e. beat to beat); SDNN: standard deviation of normal RR intervals; RMSSD: Root mean square of the successive differences of normal RR intervals. One-way analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) was used for group comparisons.
