The Relationship between Resting Metabolic Rate and Cardiovascular Risk Factors in the Obesity

OBJECT: Resting metabolic rate (RMR) poses the largest portion in daily energy expenditure. After adjusting height and weight, progression towards obesity is less in higher RMR group than the lower ones. Based on the theory that obesity has a higher risk of cardiovascular disease, we studied whether obesity presents lower RMR after adjusting weight and height. And we also examined the relationship between RMR and cardiovascular risk factors. METHODS: The study population consisted of 39 women aged from 40 to 67 years old who had visited a health promotion center in a university hospital from January, 2005 to May, 2007. Self-reported answers of daily activity, smoking, drinking, medication and past history were taken. Height, weight, waist circumference and blood pressure were measured. Baseline blood samples were evaluated. RMR was measured by indirect calorimetry. RESULTS: As body mass index(BMI) increased, hs-CRP got higher(p=0.004). But, RMR per kilogram(p<0.000) decreased as BMI increased. RMR had significant correlation to height(p=0.041), weight(p<0.000), fat free mass(p=0.001), BMI(p=0.003) and fat mass(p= 0.004). Both before and after adjusting age, height and weight, there were positive relationship only with fat free mass(p=0.001) and fat mass(p=0.004). CONCLUSION: Cardiovascular risk factor and RMR showed no significant corelation before and after adjusting height, weight and age. Only fat free mass and fat mass showed significant positive relationship with RMR in both cases.
