Relationship Between Orthostatic Cardiovascular Responses and Anthropometric Indices in Apparently Healthy Young Female Adults.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Background Understanding the relationship between orthostatic cardiovascular responses and anthropometric indices can provide insight into cardiovascular regulation, autonomic function, and disease risk stratification. Orthostatic responses like changes in systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, and pulse rate can be potentially influenced by body composition, height, weight, and body mass index (BMI). These anthropometric factors play a crucial role in maintaining hemodynamic stability during postural changes due to their complex interaction in modifying factors like systemic vascular resistance, cardiac output, and autonomic control. Alteration in this systemic interaction can be reflected by a change in the shock index (SI) and double product (DP), serving as surrogate markers for cardiovascular efficiency and myocardial workload, respectively. This study aims to investigate how the orthostatic response and the anthropometric indices relationship can be used to assess an individual's vulnerability to dysautonomia, hypotension, or cardiovascular stress during orthostasis. Materials and methods Thirty healthy female individuals, averaging 19.5 years, who satisfied the inclusion criteria were selected for the study. Body weight, height, and body mass index were measured. Blood pressure, pulse rate, and other parameters were determined at baseline (sitting position) and after 10 minutes of standing using standard procedures. Statistical significance was accepted at P<0.05. Results Although there was no correlation between the body mass index and cardiovascular parameters after 10 minutes of standing, body weight showed a strong positive correlation with the orthostatic shock index (r=0.803). On the other hand, height correlated negatively with orthostatic systolic blood pressure (r=-0.719) and orthostatic pulse pressure (r=-0.702), respectively. Conclusion The study's findings suggest that body weight and height can be used to predict orthostatic shock index, systolic blood pressure, and pulse pressure in young adult females. Assessing these orthostatic responses can help refine cardiovascular risk assessments, contributing to personalized medical interventions and improved long-term health outcomes.
