Basal metabolic rates of Indian women

Article Abstract:

Sixty Indian women residents of Bangalore, in the age group of 18 and 30 years, were observed to assess their basal metabolic rates (BMR) during the mid-follicular part of the menstrual cycle, on the basis of the body weight. The BMR was similar to the statistics taken of 52 Indian women in the 1940s. A similar study presents an approximate estimate of the BMR of American women, but fails to present accurately the BMR of European women. This study recommends the use of improved measures of body composition for future investigations.

Predictive equations for basal metabolic rates of Indian males

Article Abstract:

A study shows that basal metabolic rates (BMR) of Asian Indian males are no different from Americans males of the same age and weight. The measurement of BMR is based on the amount of energy expended by subjects. A simple equation was developed to predict the BMR of well nourished Indian Males, taking into account body weight and age. Energy expenditure can be correctly measured by making use of single validated technology though changing lifestyles, the daily diet and levels of physical activity may lower the BMR.

Energy requirements of adults: an update on basal metabolic rates (BMRs) and physical activity levels (PALs)

Article Abstract:

Basal metabolic rates (BMR) and physical activity levels of adults are discussed in relation to their energy requirements. BMR is measured by converting oxygen consumption estimates into heat or energy output. This procedure, however, may be replete with errors. Energy expenditures may also vary among individuals having seemingly similar physical and nutritional characteristics. Despite this variation, a person's BMR remains constant for a period of time.
