Abstract EN
In order to investigate the response of heart rate variability (HRV) components to postural change and their association with cardiovascular risk factors in shift workers, a cross-sectional study with 438 Brazilian males rotating shift workers was done.
Anthropometric, body composition, and clinical measures were collected.
Electrocardiogram was recorded for 3 minutes, in the supine and orthostatic position, and HRV components were extracted.
Descriptive analyses showed that mean values of body mass index, waist circumference (WC), waist-to-height ratio, visceral fat area (VFA), and blood pressure (BP) were higher than the reference values.
In the regression model, age, WC, VFA, and systolic BP showed negative association with HRV components.
These findings suggest the need for determining effective strategies for the evaluation and promotion of health among shift workers focused on the altered variables.
