Correlations between Anthropometrics and Electrocardiographic Variables in Japanese University Students: Investigation by Annual Health Screening

Aims: Anthropometrics provide important health and fitness indicators in University students and have potential impacts on electrocardiographic (ECG) abnormalities leading to cardiac events. However, the correlations between anthropometrics and ECG data are controversial in young adults. This study aimed to investigate the effects on ECG of body mass index (BMI) in Japanese University students which shows unique distribution differing from that in the western youths.
