Table 2.
Comparison of resting metabolic rate and total energy expenditure between the major African and European haplogroups. Values are Least Squares means and Standard Errors adjusted for age, sex, clinic site and lean mass.
| African | European | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| Haplogroup | L | N | |
| N | 132 | 162 | P-value |
| RMR kcal/day, Mean (SE)* | 1221 (11) | 1326 (9) | <0.0001 |
| TEE kcal/day, Mean (SE)* | 2079 (27) | 2237 (25) | <0.0001 |
RMR = Resting metabolic rate determined by indirect calorimetry.
TEE = Total energy expenditure determined using doubly-labeled water.
