Background: This study evaluates the heart rate variability (HRV), body composition parameters, physical activity level means by International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ), and sleep quality [means by Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI)] in non-obese, overweight, and obese individuals. Methods: 51 adults were included in this study. The age of the participants ranged from 18 to 39 years old, and they underwent vital signs measurement, nutritional status classification means body mass index (BMI), and body composition through the bioelectrical impedance (BIA), questionnaires (IPAQ and PSQI), and HRV measurement. Results: The most influenced body composition variables in the normal weight, overweight, and obese groups were age, body weight, BMI, resting metabolic rate, visceral fat level (VFL), skeletal muscle mass, body fat mass (BFM), body fat percentage, and minerals with p < 0.05, for all comparisons. The stress index (SI) was the HRV variable most influenced by different levels of BMI p < 0.05. The PSQI was more influenced by body water, lean mass, fat-free mass, and proteins, with p < 0.05. Furthermore, SI was the only HRV index that negatively correlated (r = − 0.395; p < 0.05) with physical activity (PA) and BFM (r = − 0.409; p < 0.05). Conclusion: Obesity increases stress and sleep disturbance and is reduced with increased PA levels. In addition, PA level was negatively associated with SI and BFM. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
