Objective: This study had the purpose of knowing the association of the body mass index and cardiovascular regulation of medical students. Materials and methods: a cross-sectional study with a randomized design. The sample consisted of 54 medical students (21,2 ± 1,6 years) who were evaluated and classified according to the body mass index: Normal weight (NP; BMI <25 kg / m2); Overweight (SP; BMI≥ 25 kg / m2); Obese (OB; BMI ≥ 30 Kg / m2). Anthropometric measurements, blood pressure, and heart rate variability (HRV) were the variables evaluated. Results: 51,9% of the students are overweight or obese. The body mass index was negatively correlated with the heart rate variability parameter, especially when compared with the HRV time domains (p <0.001). Differences were also observed in cardiac autonomic control when comparing the study groups in LnRMSSD (p <0,01) and LnSDNN (p <0,01). Conclusion: medical students with a higher body mass index are associated with less cardiac autonomic control and less parasympathetic action in the regulation of the cardiovascular system.
