چکیده

b a ckground: previous studies have suggested that sex may be a factor influencing basal metabolic rate (bmr) in adults and school age children. however, few data are available about the effects of sex on bmr in pre-school children. in the present study, we investigated whether sex differences contribute to variations in bmr in pre-school age children. m et h o ds : measurements were made on thirty children aged 2-6 years (14 male and 16 female). measurements were taken of height, age, weight, and total body composition, which  was  determined  using  both  dual-energy x-ray  absorptiometry (dxa)  and deuterium dilution.  the  dxa  was  also  used  to  determine  body  composition  in different regions of the body. bmr was measured by indirect calorimetry. re sul t s : we  found  no  significant sex  differences with  respect  to  age  (f  =  0, p = 0.998), weight (f = 0.02, p = 0.884), height (f = 0.33, p = 0.570), and body mass index standard deviation score (f = 0.51, p = 0.480). in addition, no significant difference was found between boys and girls for total fat free mass (ffm) (f = 1.30, p = 0.265) and fat mass (fm) (f = 3.16, p = 0.090) measured by dxa, and total ffm (f = 0.79, p = 0.380) and fm (f = 3.38, p = 0.080) obtained by deuterium dilution. there was no significant difference between pre-school boys and girls for bmr (f = 0.16, p = 0.690). in a multiple regression analysis, only log weight was significantly associated to bmr. the explain variation was 75.3%. c o n c lusi o n : in conclusions we found no significant differences in body composition between pre-school boys and girls and no sex effect on bmr in this age group.

Familial Resemblance of Body Composition, Physical Activity, and Resting Metabolic Rate in Pre-School Children

Background: Although parental obesity is a well-established predisposing factor for the development of obesity, associations between regional body compositions, resting metabolic rates (RMR), and physical activity (PA) of parents and their pre-school children remain unknown. The objective of this study was to investigate parent-child correlations for total and regional body compositions, restin...

Body composition and basal metabolic rate in pregnant women

Pregnancy, a milieu of physiological and metabolic adaptation, is associated with enhanced basal metabolic rate by alteration in maternal tissue and metabolism to ensure foetal growth and development. A cross-sectional study of Indian Baniya females was conducted to assess the relationship between basal metabolic rate and body composition during pregnancy. The 20–40 year old female subjects wer...

Relationship between Basal Metabolic Rate and Serum Parathyroid Hormone and Body Composition in Women with Secondary Hyperparathyroidism

Introduction: Several factors including fat free mass and fat mass can affect Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) as the largest component of daily energy demand. The aim of the current cross-sectional study was to compare BMR in women with secondary hyperparathyroidism and healthy women and to evaluate its relationship with serum Parathyroid Hormone (PTH), fat free mass and fat mass in these subjects. ...
