“…[9] Aoyagi et al stated the same with absolute latency III, V, I-III, and I-V. [11] Fukaya and Hosoya reported positive correlations between the head size and absolute latencies of wave III, V and the I-V IPL. [24] In yet another study by Ghugare et al, head size was found to be significantly correlated with wave V and interpeak I-V and III-V. [25] The influence of the head size on BAEP latencies was further reinforced in the present study by the findings obtained after comparison between the two groups with different head sizes (Table 3). Furthermore, the gender differences in absolute BAEP latencies obtained in our study were studied again in males and females with comparable head sizes and the differences were then found to turn non-significant statistically ( Table 5).…”

“…[15,16] In addition, a significant positive correlation of head size and all the three absolute latencies tested (I, III, and V) and IPL I-V was evident when studied in males and females separately and in the total study group as well, which comply with other similar studies ( Table 2). [9,11,17,25] Among these studies, Dempsey et al obtained a positive correlation with wave V and I-V IPL. [9] Aoyagi et al stated the same with absolute latency III, V, I-III, and I-V.

“…Moreover, they do not report significant influence of BMI on BAEP latencies. [12,25] The influence of BMI, when studied by a comparison performed between the two groups with normal and high BMI revealed significantly increased absolute latencies I, III, and V and IPLs I-III and I-V in the group with high BMI (Table 3). In a previous similar comparison study for BAEP latencies between obese (>30 BMI) and normal (<30 BMI) young adults, significant differences were observed for waves I, III, and V with no significant change in the inter peak latencies I-III, III-V, and I-V. [30] In the present study, BMI seems to affect the BAEP latencies but regarding role of the same in gender variations, it was found that mean BMI in males (22.3 ± 2.38) was not significantly different from that in females but still males exhibited increased latencies than females (22.2 ± 3.22).…”

Background: Gender is a known physiological variable reported to have influences on brainstem auditory evoked potential (BAEP) latencies irrespective of age. Anatomical differences have been suggested for such variations. Aims and Objectives: The present study was, hence, undertaken to evaluate the influence of gender on BAEP latencies and to assess the role of head size and body mass index (BMI) on BAEP responses and in gender variations. Materials and Methods: BAEP was recorded in 100 healthy adults (50 males and 50 females) in the age group of 18-70 years. Comparisons of absolute and interpeak latencies (IPLs) in the genders and between the groups with different head sizes and BMI were performed by unpaired t-test. Correlations between head size and BMI with BAEP latencies were obtained by Pearson correlation coefficient. P < 0.05 was considered as significant statistically. Results: A statistically significant increase in BAEP absolute latencies I, III, and V and IPLs I-III and I-V was found in males as compared to females. A significant positive correlation of head size was obtained with absolute latency I, III, V and I-V IPL. P < 0.05 for comparison of groups with different head sizes for absolute latencies I, III, V, I-V IPL and that with different BMI for I, III, V and I-III and I-V IPLs. Gender differences turned non-significant (P > 0.05) in males and females of comparable head sizes. Conclusion: Gender has significant influence on BAEP latencies. Head size and BMI are independent physical variables affecting BAEP latencies with the former having important role in gender differences.

Head size gender and BMI have found to have correlation with Brainstem Auditory Evoked Potentials (BAEPs) in some studies but other have expressed doubts. There is no common consensus. To add to the complexity, the range of normative values also vary. The present pilot study was done aiming to study effect of gender and anthropometric parameters on the variables of BAEPs in audiometrically normal young adults and collect normative values for further studies. This was an observational prospective, cross sectional, pilot study conducted among 100 medical students with 50 males and 50 females. The selected students fulfilled the inclusion and exclusion criteria and had given informed consent for the study. In the study RMS EMG EP MARK II machine was used to measure and record the absolute, interpeak and wave amplitudes. The data was collected and statistically analysed. The BAEP measurements from the subjects were compared with gender and anthropometric measurements. The age of students enrolled in subject ranged from 18â€“21 years. The difference between Left and Right ears Wave I, III and V, besides I-Ia and V-Va difference was found to be significant; while differences between male and female peak latencies of Wave III (left and right) and V (left and right) and Wave IV right ear, I-V IPL and V-Va of Right ear were found to be statistically significant. BMI did not show any statistically significant correlation with BAEPs. AEP results were definitely individual effected by gender, with latency duration more among males than females in most BAERs but were significant in few. The head circumference of a person appears to affect the BAER. BMI in the study was not significant with BAER variables.

Regular martial art training has shown positive benefits in executive functioning and reaction time facilitation. However, influence of karate training on brain stem neurophysiology is an untouched area of research. This study investigates the impact of regular karate training on brain stem auditory evoked potential (BAEP) in male school going children. Thirty subjects were assessed and compared under two groups: 15 experienced male karate practitioners (9.5 ± 1.26 years); 15 age-gender matched active controls (10.6 ± 1.57 years). The latencies (L), inter peak latencies (IPL) and amplitude (A) of the auditory waves I–V generated in the brain stem region were measured. Significant differences resulted in the left ear latencies of wave I, wave II, and left and right ear of wave III; also, IPL of waves III–V of both ears and I–V of the right ear were significantly shorter in the karate practitioners. The shorter latencies are due to faster synaptic transmissions in the corresponding physiological neuro-generators of the brainstem auditory waves that connect cognitive and sensory signalling pathways. Karate practitioners showed better neural conduction and adaptation to auditory cues, which may have developed through regular training of self-defence not just as a martial art but as a mind body exercise.
