Impact of regional and total body composition and hormones on resting energy expenditure in overweight postmenopausal women
Abstract
The independent impact of regional and total body composition and sex and thyroid hormone levels on resting energy expenditure (REE) was assessed in 121 healthy, overweight (body mass index [BMI], 25 to 42 kg/m2), postmenopausal women (aged 49 to 58 years). REE was measured by indirect calorimetry with a ventilated hood, and the total, trunk, and peripheral body composition by dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA). Sex and thyroid hormone levels were also measured. REE correlated significantly (P < .05) better with trunk lean tissue mass ([LTM] r = .61) than with total-body (r = .53) or peripheral LTM (r = .30). Trunk LTM (R2 = .37), total-body fat tissue mass ([FTM] R2 = .04), androstenedione (R2 = .03), and total triiodothyronine ([T3] R2 = .02) were all significantly independently associated with REE. Together they explained 46% (model R2) of the interindividual variation in REE, with a standard error of estimate (SEE) of 549 kJ/d. We conclude that the interindividual variation in REE is explained mainly by differences in the visceral component of LTM, with additional minor information from the total-body FTM, androstenedione, and T3.

Population-based studies in non-LT4-treated euthyroid subjects have reported that resting, sleeping, or 24-hour energy expenditure are directly correlated with free or total thyroid hormone levels, and that TSH is inversely correlated with basal oxygen consumption.
“Population-based studies in non-LT4-treated euthyroid subjects have reported that resting, sleeping, or 24-hour energy expenditure are directly correlated with free or total thyroid hormone levels (21-23), and that TSH is inversely correlated with basal oxygen consumption, a marker of energy expenditure (24).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
