Climate variables as predictors of basal metabolic rate: New equations

Abstract: Estimation of basal metabolic rate (BMR) and daily energy expenditure (DEE) in living humans and in fossil hominins can be used to understand the way populations adapt to different environmental and nutritional circumstances. One variable that should be considered in such estimates is climate, which may influence between-population variation in BMR. Overall, populations living in warmer climates tend to have lower BMR than those living in colder climates, even after controlling for body size and composition. C… Show more

“…Scaling of basal metabolic rate (top) and fat-free mass (bottom) in males (gray) and females (black), ages 3 to 21 years. Each data point represents a sample mean obtained from published studies of BMR in children and was originally compiled as part of a meta-analysis by Froehle (2008). females, and was selected from the larger growth study sample based on the completeness of the individual radiographic sequences as well as the quality of the lateral cephalograms with respect to our variables of interest (Table 1). Measurements were collected at nine different observations beginning at 3.0 to 4.0 years of age through age 201 years.…”

“…Therefore, habituation is the result of an ongoing adaption. On the one hand, with respect to the thermal environment, the adjustment can be both seasonal, e.g., changes in the comfort temperature between seasons [67,68], and long-term, e.g., adjustment of the basal metabolic rate of people living in different climate regions [69]. On the other hand, noise annoyance is significantly and positively correlated with confounding variables like the length of residence or the years of employment [70].…”

“…The observed increase in the values of body mass of the population will represent greater estimated BMR and consequently higher energy requirement which will not be derived from actual higher energy expenditure. Before revisions in PAL values are implemented it is important to improve the prediction of BMR (9) because, even though the magnitude of these improvements may be small, it is well recognized that small positive energy balance over time may affect overweight and obesity (10) . Thus, more information on BMR in segments of the population from different regions of the world is necessary to better estimate the energy requirement in population-level nutritional studies.…”
