若年成人女性における安静時代謝量及び食事誘発性体熱産生と体組成との関連

Abstract

We investigated whether body weight and body composition are related resting metabolic rate or diet-induced thermogenesis in young adult women 19-23 years old. We found that resting metabolic rate was significantly correlated with body weight, lean body mass, total muscle mass, and muscle mass of the trunk, right and left arms, and right leg, but diet-induced thermogenesis was not. These results suggest it may be possible to increase resting metabolic rate by increasing whole-body muscle mass in young adult women. However, other factors related to diet-induced thermogenesis must be further investigated.
