[HTML][HTML] Does basal metabolic rate predict weight gain?
P Anthanont, MD Jensen - The American journal of clinical nutrition, 2016 - Elsevier
Background: Some previous studies have indicated that a low basal metabolic rate (BMR) is
an independent predictor of future weight gain, but low rates of follow-up and highly select
populations may limit the ability to generalize the results. Objective: We assessed whether
adults with a low BMR gain more weight than do adults with a high BMR who are living in a
typical Western environment. Design: We extracted BMR, body-composition, demographic,
and laboratory data from electronic databases of 757 volunteers who were participating in …
