Abstract
In a clinical trial based on the direct relationship between heart rate activity and energy expenditure during awake and asleep states, 21 healthy 18‐month‐old infants had their heart rate monitored over a period of 24 h and correlated with their nutritional intake, growth parameters, and measurements of adiposity (fat cell size and skinfold thickness). Infants with higher 24‐h and asleep heart rates had smaller fat cells (r = −0.50) and skinfold thickness (abdominal r = −0.70, suprailiac r = −0.80, triceps r = −0.67). Infants with higher relative weight had higher heart rates during awake periods (r = 0.60). Infants sleeping for longer periods had higher weight gain velocity from birth (r = 0.51) and higher relative weight (r = 0.54). This study demonstrates the heart rate activity and duration of sleep are related to growth and adipose tissue deposition during infancy.
