Study Notes
Sleep and BMR
- Sleep deprivation can decrease Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) by 5-10%
Calculating BMR
- BMR is calculated under conditions of thermal neutrality, in the post-absorptive state, and after a night of fasting
Climate and BMR
- Living in a cold climate can increase BMR by 5-10% to maintain body temperature
Sex and BMR
- Males generally have a 10-15% higher BMR than females, mainly due to differences in muscle mass
Pathological Factors and BMR
- Hypothyroidism (underactive thyroid gland) is a pathological factor that decreases BMR
