Nerve traffic recordings (muscle sympathetic nerve traffic [MSNA]) have shown that sympathetic activation may occur in obesity. However, the small sample size of the available studies, presence of comorbidities, heterogeneity of the subjects examined represented major weaknesses not allowing to draw definite conclusions. This is the case for the overweight state. The present meta-analysis evaluated 1438 obese or overweight subjects recruited in 45 microneurographic studies. The analysis was primarily based on MSNA quantification in obesity and overweight, excluding as concomitant conditions hypertension, metabolic syndrome, and other comorbidities. Assessment was extended to the relationships of MSNA with other neuroadrenergic markers, such as plasma norepinephrine and heart rate, anthropometric variables, as body mass index, waist-to-hip ratio, presence/absence of obstructive sleep apnea, and metabolic profile. Compared with normoweights MSNA was significantly greater in overweight and more in obese individuals (37.0 +/- 4.1 versus 43.2 +/- 3.5 and 50.4 +/- 5.0 burts/100 heartbeats, P
