Abstract

Abstract Summary

Overview

This study investigates the association between autonomic balance and the duration of phone calls in healthy individuals who have been using mobile phones for over five years.

Methodology

• A total of 30 subjects aged between 18 and 30 years participated.
• Heart rate variability (HRV) was monitored using a multi-channel physiograph and HRV software.
• Several HRV parameters were recorded across three phases: baseline, during, and after mobile phone use.

Findings

Key observations include:

• No significant arrhythmias were detected in participants.
• Significant differences were found in one of the HRV parameters (pRR50) across different phases.
• No significant differences in other HRV parameters were observed, suggesting minimal impacts on autonomic functions from short-term mobile phone use.

  It's important to note the potential influences of electromagnetic fields (EMFs) from mobile phones on HRV and autonomic balance.

Conclusion

The study highlights that while some HRV metrics indicated changes, overall autonomic balance showed no significant disturbances across different durations of phone use, implying limited short-term health risks. However, continuous monitoring and further structured research is necessary to conclusively determine any long-term effects.
