  5. The Relation of Heart Rate Variability and Body Weight Change in Conducting Community-based Obesity Control Program

    이, 현주2011

    연구 배경 및 목적: 비만한 사람들에서 심박동수 변이(HRV, Heart Rate Variability)의 감소가 알려져 있다. 그러나, 지역사회를 기반으로 한 비만 관리 프로그램에서 초기 심박동수 변이의 상태가 단기간의 체중 감소 후 체중 및 다른 대사 지표에 미치는 영향에 대한 보고는 없었다. 이에, 본 연구는 보건소를 기반으로 한 12주의 비만 조절 프로그램에서 기저 HRV의 상태와 체중 감소 프로그램 후 체중 및 대사 인자 변화와의 관계를 비교하였다. 연구방법: 보건소에서 진행되는 12주 비만 프로그램에 등록한 총 대상자 …
