Association between resting heart rate and metabolic syndrome in adults in Dalian

Abstract

Objective Investigate the intrinsic relationship between resting heart rate (RHR) and metabolic syndrome (MS). Methods In this study, people who had physical examination in the Physical Examination Center of Dalian Medical University Affiliated Hospital of Dalian City, Liaoning Province from January 1, 2015 to December 31, 2017 were selected as the study subjects. The prevalence of MS among groups with different heart rates was compared by chi-square test. Binary Logistic regression analysis model was used to analyze the relationship between RHR and MS. Results 65 745 subjects were included in the study, including 36 356 males (55.3%) and 29 389 females(44.7%). Logistic regression analysis showed that after adjusting for age, height and weight, the risk of MS increased by 16% for every 10 increase in RHR per minute (OR=1.16, 95% CI: 1.13-1.20). Compared with subjects with a RHR of Conclusion In this study, the prevalence of metabolic syndrome was found to increase with increased resting heart rate. In addition, combining RHR and BMI can increase the efficacy of RHR as a marker of metabolic syndrome, and RHR can be combined with BMI as a potential clinical measure indicator.
