Resting heart rate and heart rate variability may serve as predictors for certain metabolic risk outcomes and diabetes, according to research in The Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism.

Data suggested that both resting heart rate (RHR) and heart rate variability (HRV), two measures of autonomic imbalance, significantly predicted two of the five metabolic risk factors — hyperglycemia and high blood pressure — and diabetes diagnosis within 12 years, and also predicted cardiovascular disease and early mortality for most patients studied. Links between autonomic imbalance and the other three factors — BMI, HDL and triglycerides — were not statistically as strong, according to researchers.

“It is not yet clear why these autonomic imbalance measures better predicted these two outcomes, compared to BMI, HDL and triglycerides,” the researchers wrote. “It is possible that in our sample lipids were more influenced by insulin resistance or some other factor than by autonomic activity.”
