Background and Objectives. Young adults with childhood maltreatment (CM) histories are particularly vulnerable to depressive symptoms and alcohol use problems. Research suggest that maltreated youth may misuse alcohol in part to alleviate depressive symptoms. However, many youths with depressive symptoms exercise self-control and abstain from heavy alcohol use. The present study aimed to examine the influence of heart rate variability reactivity (HRV-R), a psychophysiological biomarker of self-regulation, in the indirect link between CM and alcohol use problems via depressive symptoms among low socioeconomic-status rural young adults. Methods. Two waves of data were collected from a community sample of 225 low socioeconomic-status non-metropolitan young adults (Mage = 21.56, 52.9% female). HRV data were obtained with an electrocardiogram during a social stress task. CM was assessed through the Childhood Trauma Questionnaire. Alcohol use problems were measured using the Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test. Results. The indirect effect of CM on alcohol use problems via elevated depressive symptoms was positive and significant (α*β = .159, p < .001). Self-regulation indicated by high HRV-R (i.e., vagal withdrawal) was found to significantly buffer the link between depressive symptoms and alcohol use problems (β = .193, p = .022). Discussion and Conclusions. Adequate self-regulation capacities can protect maltreated youths from self-medicating alcohol use problems. Scientific Significance. This study will advance researchers’ understanding of the development of alcohol use problems through unwrapping the risk and protective mechanisms underlying the association between young adults’ early life stress and alcohol use behaviors.

Drinking History

OBJECTIVES/GOALS: Previous research has shown acute and chronic alcohol effects on cardiac function, including elevated heart rate (HR) and lowered heart rate variability (HRV). This study aimed to examine the relationship between cardiac reactivity and subjective response following intravenous (IV) alcohol in non-dependent drinkers. METHODS/STUDY POPULATION: Non-dependent drinkers (N = 46, average age = 25.2) completed a human laboratory IV alcohol self-administration (IV-ASA) session. Subjective response to alcohol was assessed using the Drug Effects Questionnaire (DEQ) and Alcohol Urge Questionnaire (AUQ). Drinking behavior was assessed using the Alcohol Timeline Followback (TLFB) and Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test (AUDIT). HR was recorded using the Polar Pro Heart Rate monitor throughout the session. HRV measures were calculated using guidelines determined by the Task Force of the European Society of Cardiology and The North American Society of Pacing and Electrophysiology. RESULTS/ANTICIPATED RESULTS: Recent drinking history as measured by the AUDIT and TLFB was not significantly different by sex. Results showed heavier drinking measures (AUDIT and TLFB) were positively associated with HRV measures (all p-values < 0.02). Those who reported a greater increase in alcohol craving (AUQ score) and wanted more alcohol (DEQ) following an alcohol prime, showed a greater change in HRV (p < 0.005). When examining HRV change from baseline throughout the priming session, there was a significant sex interaction for NN50 (p < 0.03) and a trend for PNN50 (p-value < 0.07). DISCUSSION/SIGNIFICANCE OF IMPACT: Acute IV alcohol alters cardiac reactivity measures in non-dependent drinkers. Future directions include examining the role of sex in HRV changes during alcohol consumption during IV-ASA. Understanding the effect of alcohol on cardiac reactivity and physiology may help characterize those at risk for alcohol use disorders.

Submaximal Workload

Body mass index (BMI) is negatively correlated with cardiorespiratory fitness, measured by maximal or peak oxygen consumption (VO2peak). VO2peak measurements require heavy aerobic exercise to near exhaustion which increases the potential for adverse cardiovascular events. This study tests the hypothesis that VO2 measured at a fixed submaximal workload of 30 W is a surrogate for VO2peak. We studied 42 normotensive African-American female university students, 18–25 years of age. We measured VO2peak, blood pressure, and VO2 at a 30 W exercise workload and computed BMI. We found significant negative correlations between BMI and VO2peak (r=−0.41, P<0.01) and between BMI and VO2 at 30 W (r=−0.53, P<0.001). Compared to VO2peak, VO2 at 30 W increased the significance of the negative correlation with BMI. The heart rate-systolic pressure product at 30 W was positively correlated with BMI (r=0.36, P<0.01) and negatively correlated with VO2peak (r=−0.38, P<0.001). The positive correlation between BMI and the heart rate-systolic pressure product and the greater negative correlation between VO2 and BMI at 30 W of exercise than that at exercise to fatigue suggest that normalized measurements of VO2 at the fixed exercise workload of 30 W could be useful surrogates for measurements of VO2peak.
