COMPARISON OF NUTRIENT INTAKE, AND RATIOS OF CREATININE, BODY MASS INDEX AND BASAL METABOLIC RATE TO MINERAL (Na, K, Ca, Mg, Zn, Fe, Cu) EXCRETION IN 24-HOUR URINE BETWEEN MALE UNIVERSITY STUDENTS WITH FEW EXERCISE AND MALE UNIVERSITY DISTANCE RUNNERS

Background: The prevalence of T2DM is around 7-10%. Control of diabetes and factors influencing it in thirdworld countries need to be clearly defined as most of the people have poor glycemic control. Methods: A cross sectional study was conducted and purposive sampling was done to collect data for 5 months. Atotal of 766 type 2 diabetic patients were enrolled who visited SiDER (Sakina Institute of Diabetes and EndocrineResearch Center) at Shalamar Hospital, Lahore, Pakistan. Only pre-diagnosed diabetic subjects with a random bloodglucose of more than 200mg/dl at two occasions and fasting blood glucose levels more than 126mg/dl were includedin the study. Variables like Body Mass Index (BMI), Glycated Hemoglobin (HbA1c) and Basal Metabolic Rate(BMR) were recorded. The data was analyzed by SPSS 22 version. Results: A total of 766 diabetics were recruited in the study out of which 40.3% were male and 59.7% werefemales. The mean age was 48.72±10.43 years. Out of these 53.39% were obese, 32.64% were overweight and only13.97% had a normal body mass index BMI). HbA1c levels in the sample population showed that only 13.05% hadvery healthy control i.e. 7% or less. There was a positive co-relation between Body Mass Indexand glycemiccontrol. However there was no statistically significant relation between Basal Metabolic Rateand glycemic control. Conclusion: People with high Body Mass Index were found to have suboptimal glycemic control. It was alsoobserved that higher percentage of diabetic patients fall in age group of 41-55 years. More powerful studies areneeded to establish a relation between glycated hemoglobin and Basal Metabolic Rate.

Εισαγωγή: Οι εξισώσεις πρόβλεψης που χρησιμοποιούνται για την εκτίμηση των ενεργειακών απαιτήσεων μπορεί να αποδώσουν διαφορετικές τιμές βασικού μεταβολικού ρυθμού (Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR)) από αυτές που μετρώνται με έμμεση θερμιδομετρία (Indirect Calorimetry (IC)), καθιστώντας αναγκαία και ιδιαίτερα σημαντική την αξιολόγηση της αξιοπιστίας και της ακρίβειάς τους. Σκοπός: Η αξιολόγηση της συμφωνίας, μεταξύ των υπολογιζόμενων τιμών BMR (BMR (estimated ΒMR (BMRe)) με τη χρήση εξισώσεων και των μετρούμενων τιμών BMR (measurement BMR (ΒMRm)) με IC, καθώς και η διερεύνηση των παραγόντων που επηρεάζουν τη συμφωνία αυτή. Μέθοδος: Σε 383 συμμετέχοντες (105 άντρες και 278 γυναίκες), καυκάσιας φυλής, όλων των κατηγοριών Δείκτη Μάζας Σώματος (Body Mass Index (BMI)), καταγράφηκαν τα σωματομετρικά χαρακτηριστικά και μετρήθηκε o ΒMR με φορητή συσκευή IC Fitmate. Οι τιμές ΒMRm συγκρίθηκαν με τις τιμές ΒMRe των εξισώσεων Harris & Benedict, Roza & Shizgal, Schofield, Owen, FAO-WHO-UNU, Mifflin, HB Abbreviated και Harrington. Αποτελέσματα: Μεγαλύτερη προσέγγιση τιμών, προέκυψε από την εξίσωση Harrington (βασιζόμενη στο BMI, την ηλικία και το φύλο). Επίσης, οι εξισώσεις που χρησιμοποιούν παραμέτρους βάρους, ύψους, ηλικίας και φύλου παρουσίασαν μεγαλύτερη συμφωνία με τις μετρήσεις με IC, από τις εξισώσεις που χρησιμοποιούν ως αποκλειστικές παραμέτρους το βάρος και το φύλο. Το υψηλότερο μορφωτικό επίπεδο σχετίστηκε με φυσιολογικό BMI. Παρατηρήθηκε επίσης μια αντιστρόφως ανάλογη σχέση μεταξύ BMI και ΒMR και δημιουργήθηκε μία λογαριθμική εξίσωση υπολογισμού του ΒMR διαφοροποιούμενη ως προς τις κατηγορίες BMI με την ενσωμάτωση των μεταβλητών βάρους και φύλου. Συμπεράσματα: Μια καλύτερη συμφωνία μεταξύ των τιμών BMRe και BMRm μπορεί να επιτευχθεί μέσω της χρήσης του ΒΜΙ στις εξισώσεις πρόβλεψης. Η ηλικιακή ομάδα και οι μεταβλητές φύλου μπορούν επίσης να ασκήσουν σημαντικό ρόλο στην απόκριση μεροληψίας ορισμένων εξισώσεων BMR. Τα παρόντα ευρήματα συνέβαλαν στην καλύτερη κατανόηση των μετρούμενων παραμέτρων και επιβεβαίωσαν την αντίστροφη σχέση μεταξύ BMI και BMR καθώς και τη σχέση ανώτερου εκπαιδευτικού επιπέδου και φυσιολογικού ΒΜΙ.

AbstractObjectiveTo examine relationships between the ratio of energy intake to basal metabolic rate (EI/BMR) and age and body mass index (BMI) among Japanese adults.DesignEnergy intake was assessed by 4-day semi-weighed diet records in each of four seasons (16 days in total). The EI/BMR ratio was calculated from reported energy intake and estimated basal metabolic rate as an indicator of reporting accuracy.SettingResidents in three areas in Japan, namely Osaka (urban), Nagano (rural inland) and Tottori (rural coastal).SubjectsOne hundred and eighty-three healthy Japanese men and women aged ≥30 years.ResultsThe oldest age group (≥60 years) had higher EI/BMR values than the youngest age group (30–39 years) in both sexes (1.74 vs. 1.37 for men; 1.65 vs. 1.43 for women). In multiple regression analyses, age correlated positively (partial correlation coefficient, β = 0.012, P < 0.001 for men; β = 0.011, P < 0.001 for women) and BMI correlated negatively (β = −0.031, P < 0.001 for men; β = −0.025, P < 0.01 for women) with EI/BMR.ConclusionAge and BMI may influence the relative accuracy of energy intake among Japanese adults.

Significant Difference

1. Three groups of adult men were studied in Bangalore, India: two groups were controls who had been receiving an adequate diet. Of these, one group, designated ‘normal weight controls', had a mean body mass index of 22; the other group, ‘underweight controls', had a mean body mass index of 16.7. The third group consisted of poor labourers, whose daily food intake had been less than 10 MJ and whose mean body mass index was 16.6. Previous studies had shown that such men had a lower basal metabolic rate than well-nourished Indian control subjects. 2. The object of the present study was to find out whether a reduced rate of protein turnover, measured after a single dose of [15N]glycine, contributed to a lower basal metabolic rate. It was found, however, that after adjusting for body weight and fat-free mass by analysis of co-variance there was no significant difference in basal metabolic rate between the three groups. Adjusted rates of protein synthesis were higher in the underweight controls and the undernourished labourers than in the normal weight controls, but not significantly so. 3. Estimates based on creatinine excretion showed that within the fat-free mass the underweight groups had a higher proportion of non-muscle to muscle mass. This may explain the somewhat higher rates of protein turnover in these groups. 4. Nitrogen flux (Q) was determined from 15N abundance in two end products, urea (QU) and ammonia (QA). In the underweight and undernourished groups the ratio QU/QA was increased compared with the normal weight group. This fits in with the finding of a greater proportion of visceral mass in the underweight subjects and with the compartmental model of protein metabolism that we have previously proposed.
