Higher metabolic rate during sedentary, eucaloric conditions predicts long-term weight gain: The role of ethnic differences on adjusted energy expenditure

Rationale: In accordance with the concept of energy sensing driving overeating, individuals with relatively higher 24-h energy expenditure (24hEE, adjusted for body composition and demographics) may be more susceptible to gain weight due to disproportionally higher energy intake. However, adjusted 24hEE differs among races/ethnicities with Blacks/Native Americans having on average lower/higher adjusted 24hEE than Whites, respectively. It is unclear whether the relationship between adjusted 24hEE and future weight change may be contingent on ethnic differences in adjusted24hEE.
