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.

Genetically predicted basal metabolic rate and venous thromboembolism risk: a Mendelian randomization study [PDF]
Frontiers in Nutrition, 2023 BackgroundBasal metabolic rate (BMR) is the minimum amount of energy needed by the body to carry out essential physiological functions. The goal of this study was to evaluate whether BMR causally influences venous thromboembolism (VTE) and its subtypes ...

Causal Effects of Basal Metabolic Rate on Cardiovascular Disease: A Bidirectional Mendelian Randomization Study [PDF]
Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular DiseaseBackground Despite the health effects of basal metabolic rate (BMR), the causal effect of BMR on cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) remains undetermined. To elucidate the causal nature, Mendelian randomization (MR) analyses were performed.
