Human indigenous circumpolar populations have elevated basal metabolic rates (BMRs) relative to predicted values; this metabolic elevation has been postulated to be a physiological adaptation to chronic and severe cold stress. The present study examines BMR in the Yakut, an indigenous high-latitude
The validity of using the basal metabolic rate (BMR) to calculate an individual's energy requirements is based upon the assumption that the intraindividual variation in BMR is small. Early studies (pre-1940) on BMR in women had shown that the menstrual cycle may have a profound effect, contributing
