Cardiac autonomic modulation in obese and eutrophic children: systematic review and metaan

15 studies from a systematic review of 60 articles found in PubMed, Scielo, Cochrane Library, BVS/Lilacs, and Medline databases were used for meta-analysis. The study, authored by Pábula Oliveira dos Santos, aimed to verify the influence of childhood obesity on cardiac autonomic regulation. All 15 studies were classified with high methodological quality, and 13 presented results showing altered autonomic modulation in obese children.

Use Cases

• Analyzing the relationship between childhood obesity and parasympathetic activity based on heart rate variability metrics like RMSSD, pNN50, and SDNN.
• Conducting meta-analyses on pediatric health outcomes based on aggregated data from multiple high-quality studies.
• Investigating methodological approaches for systematic reviews in medical research based on the described search and appraisal process.

Strengths

• 15 studies included in the meta-analysis, all classified with high methodological quality (7 to 9 points on the JBI checklist).
• Systematic review sourced from five major medical databases (PubMed, Scielo, Cochrane Library, BVS/Lilacs, Medline).
• 13 of the 15 studies showed consistent results regarding altered cardiac autonomic modulation in obese children.

Limitations

• Row count and column-level documentation for the underlying data are unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Last update date is unknown; freshness unverified.
• The dataset is a meta-analysis of published studies; access to the original raw data from those studies is not guaranteed.
