Methods: A total of 74 young adults (22 ± 2 years old, 51 women) were included in this cross-sectional study. HRV was assessed using a HR monitor, whereas RMR and RER were determined by indirect calorimetry. Results: Linear regression analyses showed a positive association between HR and RER in women (standardized β = 0.384, p = 0.008), while negative associations were observed between vagal-related HRV parameters and RER in women (β ranged from −0.262 to −0.254, all p ≤ 0.042). No significant association was found between the abovementioned physiological parameters in men. Conclusion: Here, we show that HR is positively associated with RER in young women but not in men, while vagal-related HRV parameters are inversely related to RMR, therefore suggesting a potential sexual dimorphism between cardiac rhythm and its relationship with markers of cardiometabolic health status.}, organization = {Junta de Andalucía, Consejería de Transformación Económica, Industria, Conocimiento y Universidades (P18-RT- 4455)}, organization = {Dirección General de Investigación y Transferencia del Conocimiento and European Regional Development Funds (ERDF) (SOMM17/6107/UGR)}, organization = {Spanish Ministry of Economy and Competitiveness via Retos de la Sociedad (DEP2016-79512- R)}, organization = {Spanish Ministry of Education (FPU 15/04059 [to J.M.A.A.])}, organization = {University of Granada Plan Propio de Investigación 2016—Excellence Actions: Unit of Excellence on Exercise and Health (UCEES)}, organization = {University of Granada Plan Propio 2020 Programa Contratos-Puente}, organization = {Juan de la Cierva Formación postdoctoral grant (FJC2020-044453- I) funded by MCIN/AEI/10.13039/501100011033}, organization = {“European Union NextGenerationEU/PRTR”}, organization = {PERC Systems Biology Fund}, publisher = {Wiley Online Library}, keywords = {gas exchange}, keywords = {Kubios}, keywords = {parasympathetic}, title = {Heart rate and its variability are associated with resting metabolic rate and substrate oxidation in young women but not in men}, doi = {10.1002/ajhb.24157}, author = {Alcántara Pilar, Juan Miguel and González Acedo, Anabel and Amaro Gahete, Francisco José and Plaza-Florido, Abel}, }
