Publication Open Access Intra-assessment resting metabolic rate variability is associated with cardiometabolic risk factors in middle-aged adults(MDPI, 2023) Alcántara Alcántara, Juan Manuel; Osuna Prieto, Francisco J.; Castillo, Manuel J.; Plaza Florido, Abel; Amaro Gahete, Francisco J.; Ciencias de la Salud; Osasun Zientziak; Institute on Innovation and Sustainable Development in Food Chain - ISFOODThe intra-assessment resting metabolic rate variability is related to cardiometabolic health, as suggested by previous literature. We studied whether that variability (expressed as coefficient of variation [CV; %]) for oxygen consumption (VO2), carbon dioxide production (VCO2), respiratory exchange ratio (RER), and resting energy expenditure (REE) is similar between men and women, and if is similarly associated with cardiometabolic risk factors. Gas exchange in 72 middle-aged adults was measured by indirect calorimetry. Anthropometrics and body composition, cardiorespiratory fitness, circulating cardiometabolic risk factors, and heart rhythm parameters were also determined. Men and women presented similar intra-assessment resting metabolic rate variability (all p > 0.05). Notably, in men, CV for RER was positively associated with BMI and adiposity (both standardized β = 0.35, Ps ≤ 0.048), while CVs for VO2, VCO2, and REE were negatively associated (standardized β ranged from −0.37 to −0.46, all p ≤ 0.036) with cardiometabolic risk factors. In women, CVs for VCO2 and REE were negatively associated with adiposity (both standardized β = −0.36, Ps ≤ 0.041) and cardiometabolic risk Z-score (standardized β = −0.40 and −0.38, respectively, Ps ≤ 0.05). In conclusion, intra-assessment resting metabolic rate variability could be considered an indicator of cardiometabolic health in middle-aged adults.Publication Open Access Associations between intra-assessment resting metabolic rate variability and health-related factors(MDPI, 2022) Alcántara Alcántara, Juan Manuel; Osuna Prieto, Francisco J.; Plaza Florido, Abel; Ciencias de la Salud; Osasun Zientziak; Institute on Innovation and Sustainable Development in Food Chain - ISFOODIn humans, the variation in resting metabolic rate (RMR) might be associated with health-related factors, as suggested by previous studies. This study explored whether the intra-assessment RMR variability (expressed as a coefficient of variation (CV; %)) is similar in men and women and if it is similarly associated with diverse health-related factors. The RMR of 107 young, and relatively healthy adults, was assessed using indirect calorimetry. Then, the CV for volumes of oxygen consumption (VO2) and carbon dioxide production (VCO2), respiratory exchange ratio (RER), and resting energy expenditure (REE) were computed as indicators of intra-assessment RMR variability. Body composition, cardiorespiratory fitness (peak VO2 uptake), circulating cardiometabolic risk factors, and heart rate and its variability (HR and HRV) were assessed. Men presented higher CVs for VO2, VCO2, and REE (all p <= 0.001) compared to women. Furthermore, in men, the intra-assessment RER variability was associated with vagal-related HRV parameters and with mean HR (standardized beta = -0.36, -0.38, and 0.41, respectively; all p < 0.04). In contrast, no associations were observed in women. In conclusion, men exhibited higher variability (CVs for VO2, VCO2, and REE) compared to women. The CV for RER could be a potential marker of cardiometabolic risk in young men.
