Сardiorespiratory relationships in people of young age depending on the composite composition of the body

BACKGROUND: The decisive importance of the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous system in maintaining vegetative homeostasis requires the determination of sensitive non-invasive parameters of multidimensional outpatient monitoring of cardiorespiratory adaptation under various physiological and clinical conditions, taking into account the function of external respiration (FER), compound body composition and heart rate variability (HRV).

AIM: To identify concomitant changes in HRV, HR and compound body composition in young people as markers of cardiorespiratory adaptation and rehabilitation.

MATERIALS AND METHODS: On the basis of the Kuban State Medical University, a single-centre, interventional, cross-sectional, single-sample, comparative, uncontrolled study of a general group of young people in which respiratory parameters and parameters of the compound body composition were determined. Some individuals in this group additionally underwent Holter monitoring of the electrocardiogram (ECG) at short intervals.

RESULTS: In young people, a change in the compound body composition with an increase in total fat mass, visceral and body fat is associated with a decrease in respiratory function (a decrease in the Tiffno index, a decrease in the maximum middle-expiratory flow — MMEF), manifested by a decrease in HRV (according to the TI indicator), the absence of an increase in the autonomic regulation circuit (according to SDNN indicator), a decrease in parasympathetic activity (in terms of rMSSD) and the absence of sympathetic activation (in terms of SDANN). Positive shifts in the form of an increase in trunk muscles, the total amount of water and a decrease in the total fat mass are accompanied by an increase in lung capacity, forced expiratory volume in the first second and a change in HRV with sympathetic (in terms of LF / HF, SDANN) and parasympathetic activation (in terms of rMSSD), an increase in HRV (in terms of TI) and an increase in the autonomic regulation circuit of the vegetative nervous system (in terms of SDNN).

CONCLUSION: Accurate and rapid diagnostics of vegetative homeostasis requires a comprehensive correlative analysis of the parameters characterizing HRV in short recordings, the compound composition of the human body and respiratory function.
