ABSTRACT

ObjectivesThe purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between the ef-fects of acupuncture treatment and heart rate variability (HRV) in pre-menopausal obese women.MethodsThirty-seven obese women who met the inclusion criteria were recruited. To estimate the effects of acupuncture, obesity indices, such as body weight (BW), waist cir-cumference (WC), hip circumference (HC), and the waist-hip ratio (WHR), were measured before and after the treatment. The HRV test was conducted before treatment and ana-lyzed using the frequency domain method.ResultsThe lnLF/HF ratio (natural logarithm of low frequency power/high frequency pow-er ratio of the HRV value) before treatments was negatively correlated with differences in WC, HC, and WHR during treatment. The correlation coefficients between the lnLF/HF ratio and the differences in WC, HC, and WHR were r=−0.459 (p＜0.01), r=−0.327 (p＜0.05), and r=−0.339 (p＜0.05) respectively.ConclusionsAs the baseline ratio of sympathetic activity to parasympathetic activity de-creases, WC, HC, and WHR reduction significantly increased during treatment. Further study is needed to uncover the relationship between obesity-related variables and the auto-nomic nervous system to predict the effect of acupuncture. (J Korean Med Rehabil 2016;26(4):85-96)
