Resting energy expenditure: A better marker than BMI for BMD in African-American women

Article Abstract:

The combined and independent contributions of age, body weight, body mass index (BMI), resting energy expenditure (REE), physical activity, muscle strength, fat mass, and lean body mass to lumbar spine, hip, and total body bone mineral content (BMC) and bone mineral density (BMD) in postmenopausal African-American women is assessed. Poor energy economy might contribute to being overweight and might explain the lower rates of osteoporosis observed in African-American women.
