UNASSIGNED: @entity28 is a major public health concern; behavioural interventions induce @entity353 in some, but success is variable. Heart rate variability (HRV) has been associated with impulse control and extent of dieting success. This study investigated the relationship between HRV and post childhood @entity28 intervention weight-management success, and involved recording the frequency-domain HRV measures ratio between low frequency and @entity2198 (LF/ @entity2198 ) and @entity2198 ( @entity2198 ), and the time-domain measure, percentage of successive beat-to-beat intervals that differ by more than 50ms (PNN50). It was expected that greater LF/ @entity2198 and lower @entity2198 would be associated with greater post-intervention weight gain, and that greater PNN50 would be associated with greater impulse control. Seventy-four @entity1 aged 9-14 (M=10.7; s.d.: 1.1) attended a weight-management camp, where HRV was recorded. Stop signal reaction time (SSRT) was also recorded as a measure of impulse control. As expected, SSRT was positively associated with pre-intervention body mass (r=0.301, P=0.010) and negatively associated with PNN50 (b=0.29, P=0.031). Post-intervention body mass change was positively associated with LF/ @entity2198 (b=0.34, P=0.037), but was not associated with @entity2198 . Lifestyle interventions may have a greater chance of effectively supporting long-term weight-management for @entity1 with lower LF/ @entity2198 ; assessing HRV of @entity28 @entity1 may be helpful in informing @entity28 treatment decisions.International Journal of Obesity advance online publication, 21 February 2017; doi:10.1038/ijo.2017.25.
