TL;DR
The lower prevalence of obesity in Caucasian women may be due in part to a higher RMR as well as an under estimation of RMR in weight control therapy.
Abstract
The lower prevalence of obesity in Caucasian women may be due in part to a higher RMR as well as an under estimation of RMR in weight control therapy. Fitness level (VO2max) as well as LBM are significant predictors of RMR for both races.
