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.

Effect of Basal Metabolic Rate on Cancer: A Mendelian Randomization Study [PDF]
Frontiers in Genetics, 2021 Background: Basal metabolic rate is associated with cancer, but these observations are open to confounding. Limited evidence from Mendelian randomization studies exists, with inconclusive results. Moreover, whether basal metabolic rate has a similar role

Basal metabolic rate shapes the development and progression of hepatocellular carcinoma [PDF]
BMC CancerBackground Among several cancer risk factors, the variation in basal metabolism rate (BMR), which constitutes up to 70% of total energy expenditures in humans, may be causally linked with neoplasm development.

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

Sex-specific Mendelian randomization phenome-wide association study of basal metabolic rate [PDF]
Scientific ReportsObservationally, higher basal metabolic rate (BMR) is associated with metabolism-related disorders, cancer, aging, and mortality. In this Mendelian randomization (MR) phenome-wide association study, using two-sample MR methods, we systematically and ...

Intra-seasonal flexibility in avian metabolic performance highlights the uncoupling of basal metabolic rate and thermogenic capacity. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Stochastic winter weather events are predicted to increase in occurrence and amplitude at northern latitudes and organisms are expected to cope through phenotypic flexibility. Small avian species wintering in these environments show acclimatization where
