The association between basal metabolic rate and osteoarthritis: a Mendelian randomization study [PDF]
BMC Medical Genomics, 2023 Background The role of the basal metabolic rate (BMR) in osteoarthritis (OA) remains unclear, as previous retrospective studies have produced inconsistent results. Therefore, we performed a Mendelian randomization (MR) study to systematically investigate

Effect of basal metabolic rate on lifespan: a sex-specific Mendelian randomization study [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2023 Observationally, the association of basal metabolic rate (BMR) with mortality is mixed, although some ageing theories suggest that higher BMR should reduce lifespan. It remains unclear whether a causal association exists.

Basal metabolic rate correlates with excess postexercise oxygen consumption across different intensities [PDF]
BMC Sports Science, Medicine and RehabilitationBackground Both the basal metabolic rate (BMR) and excess postexercise oxygen consumption (EPOC) can be influenced by physical training and are associated with body composition and aerobic capacity.

Association between basal metabolic rate and cognitive function in Chinese older adults: the mediating effect of sarcopenia [PDF]
BMC GeriatricsBackground Cognitive aging poses a major worldwide health concern. The association between basal metabolic rate (BMR) and cognition isn’t well understood. This research examines sarcopenia’s potential role as a mediator: linking BMR to cognitive function.
