Why are girls skinnier than boys?
Women have a lower BMI than men in developed countries, yet the opposite is true in developing countries. We call this the gender BMI puzzle and investigate its underlying cause. We begin by studying time trends in Japan, where, consistent with the cross-country puzzle, the BMI of adult women has steadily decreased since the 1950s, whereas the BMI of adult men has steadily increased. We study how changes in energy intake and energy expenditure account for the over-time gender BMI puzzle using the Japanese National Nutrition Survey from 1975 to 2010, which provides nurse-measured height and weight and nutritionist-assisted food records. Because long-term data on energy expenditure do not exist, we calculate energy expenditure using a steady-state body weight model. We then conduct cross-country regression analysis to corroborate what we learn from the Japanese data. We find that both energy intake and energy expenditure have significantly decreased for Japanese adult men and women and that a larger reduction in energy expenditure among men than women accounts for the increasing male-to-female BMI gap. Trends in BMI and energy expenditure vary greatly by occupation, suggesting that a relatively large decrease in physical activity in the workplace among men underlies the gender BMI puzzle. The cross-country analysis supports the generalizability of the findings beyond the Japanese data. Furthermore, the analysis suggests the increasing male-to-female BMI gap is driven not only by a reduction in the energy requirements of physically demanding work but also by weakening occupational gender segregation. No support is found for other explanations, such as increasing female labor force participation, greater female susceptibility to malnutrition in utero, and gender inequality in nutrition in early life.
What is the relationship between energy balance and a healthy weight?
Energy balance is based upon dietary/caloric intake and metabolism. Healthy weight can be based on values based on height and weight, such as the body mass index (BMI). Insufficient caloric intake can result in starvation mode, where despite less food consumed the body may gain weight, and slow metabolism. Energy balance requires the body meeting its needed caloric intake, while being exercised for cardiovascular health, and to maintain/grow lean muscle mass.
What is the Relationship between energy intake energy expenditure and weight.?
Weight is determined by the balance between energy intake and energy expenditure. When energy intake exceeds expenditure, the excess energy is stored as fat, leading to weight gain. On the other hand, if energy expenditure exceeds intake, the body uses stored energy reserves, resulting in weight loss. Maintaining a balance between energy intake and expenditure is crucial for weight management.
Why is heat energy linked with kinetic energy?
It is linked because heat is the total potential and kinetic energy of an object, so as kinetic energy increases, heat increases.
How can one effectively raise their BMI?
To effectively raise your BMI, you can increase your calorie intake through a balanced diet that includes healthy fats, proteins, and carbohydrates. Additionally, incorporating strength training exercises into your fitness routine can help build muscle mass, which can also contribute to a higher BMI.
How can I increase my BMI effectively?
To increase your BMI effectively, focus on consuming a balanced diet with a higher calorie intake, including healthy fats, proteins, and carbohydrates. Incorporate strength training exercises to build muscle mass, which can help increase your BMI. Consult with a healthcare provider or nutritionist for personalized guidance.
What problem does low energy intake cause for your brain?
Low energy intake causes the brain to work at a slower speed.
What does Marasmus develop from?
Inadequate energy and protein intake (or nutrient intake overall)
What should be the maximum total fat intake as a percentage of energy intake?
35 percent
What does the body use for energy when you have no carb intake?
When there is no carbohydrate intake the body runs on fats
What happens when energy intake exceeds the bodys energy needs?
Ambot
