Objectives: We performed this study to analyze correlation among hair tissue mineral ratio, autonomic function and obesity. Methods: Subjects were gathered from January 2005 to March 2007. This study was carried out on 263 subjects who had visited Garosero oriental clinic and had no previous cardiovascular disease and thyroid disease. Heart rate variability (HRV) parameters, tissue mineral ratio and obesity degree were statistically compared with correlation and T-test analysis. Results: The results of this study are summarized as follows: 1. Normal group were predominant over obesity group in HRV parameters (SDNN, RMSSD, VLF, LF, HF). 2. Ca/P, Ca/K, Na/K and Fe/Cu, Na/Mg ratio in hair tissue mineral ratio have correlation with BMR, BMI and waist circumference. 3. Ca/P ratio has correlation with LF norm in HRV, and Na/K with HF, Na/Mg with LF, equally. Conclusions: Taken together these results may suggest that there are significant relationships between hair tissue mineral analysis and HRV.
