Resting metabolic rate in obesity

Postgraduate Medical Journal
Abstract The prevalence of obesity has continued to rise, and obesity and its attendant metabolic disorders are major global health threat factors. Among the current interventions for obesity, none have demonstrated sustained efficacy in achieving long-term outcomes.

Resting metabolic rate in chronic renal failure

Journal of Renal Nutrition, 2001
A decrease in resting metabolic rate (RMR) in patients with chronic renal failure was assumed to occur because of the decreasing oxygen consumption of the kidneys, which in healthy subjects, accounts for 7.2% of RMR. Contrary to this assumption, RMR per body weight in end-stage renal disease was increased.To test the impact of chronic renal failure on ...

Resting metabolic rate and the influence of the pretesting environment

The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, 1992
We examined the effect of pretesting environment on measurement of resting metabolic rate (RMR). RMR was measured in 18 older (66.1 +/- 1.4 y) individuals after an overnight stay in the Clinical Research Center (ie, inpatient) and after subjects transported themselves to the laboratory (ie, outpatient). Similar measurements were also performed after an

Prediction of the resting metabolic rate in obese patients

The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, 1983
Resting metabolic rate (RMR) was measured in 154 women and 48 men before the beginning of a weight reduction program. In both sexes there were significant univariate correlations between RMR and fat-free mass, body fat, weight, fat cell weight, and fat cell number (from total body water).

Low Fitness Partially Explains Resting Metabolic Rate Differences Between African American and White Women [PDF]

American Journal of Medicine, 2014
Background High levels of obesity among African American women have been hypothesized to be partially resultant from a lower resting metabolic rate compared with white women.

Effect of sedentary activities on resting metabolic rate

The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, 1994
We examined the effect of television viewing on resting metabolic rate (RMR) in a cohort of 9 obese and 18 nonobese girls aged 10.4 +/- 1.1 y. RMR was measured while girls watched television, read, or sat quietly for 15 min. Movement was assessed by using activity monitors and a manual count of movements observed on a videotape.

Genetic effect in resting and exercise metabolic rates

Metabolism, 1989
Two studies dealing with the contribution of the genotype in individual differences for resting metabolic rate (RMR), thermic effect of a 4.2 MJ carbohydrate meal (TEM), and energy cost of submaximal exercise are reported. The genetic effect for RMR and TEM was studied in 31 pairs of parent-child, 21 pairs of dizygotic (DZ) twins, and 37 pairs of ...

The effects of aerobic fitness on resting metabolic rate

The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, 1992
A cross-sectional study was designed to determine the relationship between aerobic fitness and resting metabolic rate (RMR) in 69 males exhibiting a wide range of aerobic fitness levels (VO2max = 32.8-78.1 mL.kg-1.min-1). The results of this study indicated that RMR was not significantly different between trained and untrained individuals when ...

Weight loss and change in resting metabolic rate

The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, 1990
The relation between change in resting metabolic rate (RMR) and change in fat-free mass (FFM) after weight loss is not well understood and is often inappropriately expressed in kilocalories per unit of FFM. We measured RMR and FFM in 35 obese patients enrolled in a conservative weight-loss program.

Variations in resting metabolic rates of men in Antarctica

European Journal of Applied Physiology and Occupational Physiology, 1988
The resting metabolic rates (RMR) of 6 men was determined monthly for 12 consecutive months, at Rothera Base, Antarctica (67 degrees 34'S, 68 degrees 07'W). Body weight and body composition were also recorded. Metabolic rates were within the range of those found in past polar studies, and of young men in the UK, but varied considerably from month to ...
