Basal metabolic rate in the Yakut (Sakha) of Siberia
Article Abstract:
A study examines Base Metabolic Rate (BMR) in the Yakut, an indigenous high-latitude population from the Sakha Republic of Russia to determine whether the Yakut show evidence of an elevated BMR. The study provides additional evidence of metabolic elevation in indigenous circumpolar groups and has important implications for estimating the nutritional requirements of the populations.

Measuring human energy expenditure: what have we learned from the flex-heart rate method?
Article Abstract:
The amount of energy consumed and expended on a daily basis is an important aspect of research on human health and nutrition, using the flex-HR method. The technique has proved to be practical for studying human population and understanding their energy requirements.

Basal metabolic adaptation of the Evenki reindeer herders of central Siberia
Article Abstract:
Research indicates that indigenous Siberian populations, such as Evenki reindeer herders demonstrate significantly higher basal metabolic rates than those of their nonindigenous counterparts. Measurements were categorized for both body weight and body surface area.
