Daily energy expenditure in Mexican and USA Pima Indians: low physical activity as a possible cause of obesity
Abstract
Background Obesity is caused by an imbalance between energy intake and energy expenditure. However, it is unknown whether increased physical activity protects susceptible populations against the development of obesity and type 2 diabetes.Objective To investigate the potential protective role of environment and physical activity against obesity by measuring total energy expenditure in Mexican and USA Pima Indians.Methods We compared the physical activity level of 40 (17 female and 23 male; 37+/-11 y, 66+/-13 kg) Mexican Pima Indians from a remote, mountainous area of Northwest Mexico, with 40 age-and-sex matched (17 female and 23 male; 37+/-12 y, 93+/-22 kg) Pima Indians from the Gila River Indian Community in Arizona, USA. We measured total energy expenditure (TEE) by doubly labeled water and calculated physical activity by different methods: physical activity level (PAL) as the ratio of TEE on resting metabolic rate (RMR), TEE adjusted for RMR by linear regression, activity energy expenditure adjusted for body weight (AEE), and activity questionnaire.Results Physical activity was higher in Mexican Pima Indians when compared with USA Pima Indians as assessed by PAL (1.97+/-0.34 vs 1.57+/-0.16, P<0.0001), TEE adjusted for RMR (3289+/-454 vs 2671+/-454 kcal/day, P<0.0001) and AEE adjusted for body weight (1243+/-415 vs 711+/-415 kcal/day, P<0. 0001). Questionnaires revealed more time spent on occupational activities among Mexican Pima compared with USA Pima (23.9+/-13.3 vs 12.6+/-13.9 h/week, P<0.001).Conclusion These data support a significant role for physical activity in the prevention of obesity in genetically susceptible populations.

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.
