Little information is available on RMR in African\u2010American men.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:italic>Research Methods and Procedures:<\/jats:italic> We assessed RMR by indirect calorimetry and body composition by DXA in 395 adults ages 28 to 40 years (100 African\u2010American men, 95 white men, 94 African\u2010American women, and 106 white women), recruited from participants in the Coronary Artery Risk Development in Young Adults (CARDIA), Birmingham, Alabama, and Oakland, California, field centers.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:italic>Results:<\/jats:italic> Using linear models, fat\u2010free mass, fat mass, visceral fat, and age were significantly related to RMR, but the usual level of physical activity was not. After adjustment for these variables, mean RMR was significantly higher in whites (1665.07 \u00b1 10.78 kcal\/d) than in African Americans (1585.05 \u00b1 11.02 kcal\/d) by 80 \u00b1 16 kcal\/d (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> &lt; 0.0001). The ethnic \u00d7 gender interaction was not significant (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> = 0.9512), indicating that the difference in RMR between African\u2010American and white subjects was similar for men and women.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:italic>Discussion:<\/jats:italic> RMR is \u223c5% higher in white than in African\u2010American participants in CARDIA. The difference was the same for men and women and for lean and obese individuals. The prevalence of obesity is not higher in African\u2010American men than in white men. Because of these reasons, we believe that RMR differences are unlikely to be a primary explanation for why African\u2010American women are more prone to obesity than white women.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1038\/oby.2002.99","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2008,4,16]],"date-time":"2008-04-16T12:47:35Z","timestamp":1208350055000},"page":"726-732","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":63,"title":["Differences in Resting Metabolic Rate between White and African\u2010American Young Adults"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"10","author":[{"given":"Teresa A.","family":"Sharp","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Melanie L.","family":"Bell","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Gary K.","family":"Grunwald","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Kathryn H.","family":"Schmitz","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Stephen","family":"Sidney","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Cora E.","family":"Lewis","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Kim","family":"Tolan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"James O.","family":"Hill","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2012,9,6]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_6_2_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1038\/sj.ijo.0800541"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_3_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/BF02603183"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_4_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/j.1550-8528.1997.tb00276.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_5_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1038\/sj.ijo.0800575"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_6_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/j.1550-8528.1995.tb00472.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_7_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/ajcn\/66.3.531"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_8_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1210\/jc.82.1.315"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_9_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/j.1550-8528.1997.tb00558.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_10_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1210\/jc.84.3.906"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_11_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/ajcn\/70.1.13"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_12_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1139\/y91-049"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_13_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1038\/sj.ijo.0800569"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_14_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/00005768-199601000-00018"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_15_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/0895-4356(88)90080-7"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_16_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/j.1550-8528.1999.tb00405.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_17_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/oxfordjournals.aje.a115835"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_18_2","first-page":"S1","article-title":"A collection of physical activity questionnaires for health\u2010related research","volume":"29","author":"Pereira M.
