[Table/Fig-2]:
Autonomic reactivity in participants categorised as normal, over weight and obese using revised Indian and WHO criteria. Median (intraquartile range) of E: I ratio during deep breathing test (DBT), 30: 15 ratio during lying to standing test (LST), Valsalva ratio (VR), increase in diastolic blood pressure (DBP) during isometric exercise test (HGT).
