Basal metabolism of weight-stable chronically undernourished men and women: lack of metabolic adaptation and ethnic differences
Open accessAbstract
The purpose of this study was to investigate whether weight-stable chronically energy-deficient subjects exhibit evidence of metabolic adaptation and to establish whether international predictive equations overestimate the basal metabolic rate (BMR) of tropical populations. BMR, body weight, height, and fat-free mass (FFM) by underwater weighing were measured in healthy, physically active urban dwellers of low socioeconomic status (178 men and women aged 22-38 y) in Bangalore, Southern India. Subjects were selected on the basis of body mass index (BMI; in kg/m2) and classified in three groups: severely undernourished (BMI < 17.0; n = 30 men, n = 25 women), marginally undernourished (BMI = 17.0-18.5; n = 31 men, n = 30 women), and well nourished (BMI > 18.5; n = 27 men, n = 35 women). The BMR of the well-nourished group, expressed in absolute terms (6.20 and 5.18 MJ/d for men and women, respectively), was significantly higher (P < 0.000) than that of the severely undernourished group (5.72 and 4.64 MJ/d for men and women, respectively). Normalizing BMR for either body weight or FFM by analysis of covariance abolished all differences. The mean BMR of the low-BMI study group was substantially higher (11-14%) than reported previously for undernourished Indian adults. The BMR of both men and women, regardless of their nutritional status, was accurately estimated by age- and sex-specific FAO/WHO/UNU equations. These findings suggest the absence of an enhanced metabolic response in weight-stable chronically undernourished adults. This is in contrast with earlier reports, and supports more recent views. The study also provides evidence of the absence of ethnic-specific energy turnover in Indians.

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.
