Low rates of daily energy expenditure, increased energy intake, or a combination of both contribute to obesity in African-Americans. We examined whether African-Americans have lower rates of free-living daily energy expenditure than Caucasians. One hundred sixty-four (>55 yr) volunteers (37 African-American women, 52 Caucasian women, 28 African-American men, and 47 Caucasian men) were characterized for total daily energy expenditure, resting metabolic rate, and physical activity energy expenditure from the doubly labeled water method and indirect calorimetry. Absolute total daily energy expenditure was lower in women than men but was not different between African-Americans and Caucasians. However, we found race and gender differences in total daily energy expenditure after controlling for differences in fat-free mass. Total daily energy expenditure was 10% lower ( P < 0.01) in African-Americans compared with Caucasians due to a 5% lower resting metabolic rate ( P < 0.01) and 19% lower physical activity energy expenditure ( P = 0.08). Moreover, total daily energy expenditure was 16% lower ( P < 0.01) in women compared with men due to a 6% lower resting metabolic rate ( P = 0.09) and a 37% lower physical activity energy expenditure ( P = 0.06). Low rates of energy expenditure may be a predisposing factor for obesity, particularly in African-American women.

We examined the hypothesis that weight loss in heart failure patients is associated with elevated daily energy expenditure. Twelve cachectic patients [age = 73 +/- 6 yr; weight loss = 15 +/- 6 kg; body mass index (BMI) = 21 +/- 5 kg/m2], 13 noncachectic patients (age = 67 +/- 5 yr; BMI = 27 +/- 5 kg/m2), and 50 healthy elderly controls (age = 69 +/- 6 yr; BMI = 26 +/- 4 kg/m2) were studied. Daily energy expenditure and it components were measured using doubly labeled water and indirect calorimetry and body composition by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry. Fat mass and fat-free mass were lower (P < 0.05) in cachectic patients compared with noncachectic patients and healthy controls. Daily energy expenditure was lower (P < 0.05) in cachectic patients (1,870 +/- 347 kcal/day) compared with noncachectic patients (2,349 +/- 545 kcal/day) and healthy controls (2,543 +/- 449 kcal/day). Differences in daily energy expenditure were primarily due to lower (P < 0.05) physical activity energy expenditure in cachectic (269 +/- 307 kcal/day) and noncachectic patients (416 +/- 361 kcal/day) compared with healthy controls (728 +/- 374 kcal/day). A lower (P < 0.05) resting energy expenditure was also noted in cachectic patients (1,414 +/- 210 kcal/day) compared with noncachectic patients (1,698 +/- 252 kcal/day) and healthy controls (1,561 +/- 223 kcal/day). These findings show that daily energy expenditure is not higher, but significantly lower, in cachectic heart failure patients due to lower physical activity and resting energy expenditure. These results argue against the hypothesis that an abnormally elevated daily energy expenditure is associated with weight loss in heart failure.

ABSTRACT Background Strenuous physical activity promotes inflammation and depletes muscle glycogen, which may increase the iron regulatory hormone hepcidin. Hepcidin reduces dietary iron absorption and may contribute to declines in iron status frequently observed following strenuous physical activity. Objectives To determine the effects of strenuous physical activity on hepcidin and dietary iron absorption and whether energy deficit compared with energy balance modifies those effects. Methods This was a randomized, cross-over, controlled-feeding trial in healthy male subjects (n = 10, mean ± SD age: 22.4 ± 5.4 y, weight: 87.3 ± 10.9 kg) with sufficient iron status (serum ferritin 77.0 ± 36.7 ng/mL). Rest measurements were collected before participants began a 72-h simulated sustained military operation (SUSOPS), designed to elicit high energy expenditure, glycogen depletion, and inflammation, followed by a 7-d recovery period. Two 72-h SUSOPS trials were performed where participants were randomly assigned to consume either energy matched (±10%) to their individual estimated total daily energy expenditure (BAL) or energy at 45% of total daily energy expenditure to induce energy deficit (DEF). On the rest day and at the completion of BAL and DEF, participants consumed a beverage containing 3.8 mg of a stable iron isotope, and plasma isotope appearance was measured over 6 h. Results Muscle glycogen declined during DEF and was preserved during BAL (−188 ± 179 mmol/kg, P-adjusted &lt; 0.01). Despite similar increases in interleukin-6, plasma hepcidin increased during DEF but not BAL, such that hepcidin was 108% greater during DEF compared with BAL (7.8 ± 12.2 ng/mL, P-adjusted &lt; 0.0001). Peak plasma isotope appearance at 120 min was 74% lower with DEF (59 ± 38% change from 0 min) and 49% lower with BAL (117 ± 81%) compared with rest (230 ± 97%, P-adjusted &lt; 0.01 for all comparisons). Conclusions Strenuous physical activity decreases dietary iron absorption compared with rest. Energy deficit exacerbates both the hepcidin response to physical activity and declines in dietary iron absorption compared with energy balance. This trial was registered at clinicaltrials.gov as NCT03524690.
