We tested the hypothesis that women would demonstrate lower cardiovagal baroreflex gain compared with men. If so, we further hypothesized that the lower cardiovagal baroreflex gain in women would be associated with their lower aerobic fitness and higher body fat percentage compared with men. To accomplish this, we measured cardiovagal baroreflex gain (modified Oxford technique) in sedentary, nonobese (body mass index, <25 kg/m(2)) men (age = 26.0 +/- 2.1 yr, n = 11) and women (age = 26.9 +/- 1.6 yr, n = 14). Resting R-R interval and diastolic blood pressure were similar in the two groups, but systolic blood pressure was lower (P< 0.05) in the women. Cardiovagal baroreflex gain was significantly lower in the women compared with the men (13.3 +/- 1.5 vs. 20.0 +/- 2.8 ms/mmHg, P< 0.05). The lower cardiovagal baroreflex gain in the women was not related (P> 0.05) to their lower aerobic fitness and was only marginally related to their higher body fat percentage (r = -0.34, P< 0.05). There were no gender differences in the threshold and saturation, operating range, or operating point (all P. 0.05), although the operating point fell significantly to left (i.e., at a lower systolic blood pressure) compared with men. Therefore, the findings of this study suggest that the gain of the cardiovagal baroreflex is reduced whereas other parameters were similar in women compared with men. The mechanisms responsible for the reduced cardiovagal baroreflex gain remain unclear.
