Index I Kerdö, the author proposed back in 1966, ie before the era HRV, to quantify the autonomic tone continues to be widely used. We set a goal to analyze the relationships Kerdö's Vegetative Index (KVI) with parameters of HRV and EEG, as well as with Mineralocorticoide, Calcitonin and Parathyrin Activities. Methods. In basal conditions in men, patients with chronic pyelonephritis and cholecystitis in remission, recorded Blood Pressure and Heart Rate (“Omron-4MI”, Netherland), HRV (“Cardiolab+VSR”, KhAI Medica, Ukraine) and EEG (“NeuroCom Standard”, KhAI Medica, Ukraine). In urine determining the concentration of Phosphates, Calcium, Potassium and Sodium. Results. No correlation ascertained between KVI and LF/HF Ratio (r=-0,18) and Baevskiy’s Vegetative Index (r=0,17). However, KVI weakly correlated with Power Spectrum Density (PSD) LF (r=-0,35), (VLF+LF)/HF Ratio (r=-0,32) and Baevskiy’s Stress Index (r=0,32) as well as with Parathytin Activity (r=0,33), estimated by Urina Phosphates/Calcium Ratio. Medium strength correlation (r=0,56) found between KVI and Baevskiy’s Activity Regulatory Systems Index in Orthostase. However, the strongest correlations of KVI proved with Amplitude of α-Rhythm Ongoiging EEG (r=0,57) and PSD P4-α (r=0,65). Canonical correlation between KVI, on the one hand, and the parameters of EEG, HRV and Parathyrin Activity, on the other hand, was very strong: R=0,933; R2=0,870; Adjusted R2=0,758; F(18)=7,8; χ2(18)=62; p<10-5. Conclusion. Kerdö’s Vegetative Index reflects above all Amplitude of α-Rhythm EEG and its Power Spectrum Density in Parietal and Central loci, less options HRV, but is not marker of sympatho-vagal balance. Keywords: Kerdö’s Vegetative Index, HRV, EEG, correlations.
