The basic conditions for measuring basal metabolic rate are resting state, fasting state, quiet environment, suitable temperature and normal drinking water. The clinical significance of measuring BMR is to evaluate the basal metabolic level of human body, provide basis for the calculation of individual energy demand and reasonable nutrient intake, and play an important guiding role in health management and disease prevention.
The measurement of BMR needs to be carried out in the resting state of human body, that is, there is no physical activity and mental tension to ensure the accuracy and reliability of the measurement results. To measure BMR on an empty stomach, it usually takes at least 8 hours on an empty stomach to eliminate the influence of food intake on metabolism and ensure that the measurement results are related to the basic metabolism of the human body.
The measurement of BMR needs to be carried out in a quiet and comfortable environment to avoid the influence of external interference and physical discomfort on the test results and ensure the accuracy of the measurement. BMR should be measured at suitable room temperature to avoid the influence of extreme high temperature or low temperature on metabolism. At the same time, normal drinking water is also an important condition to ensure accurate measurement results and maintain a good water balance.
BMR refers to the energy that the human body needs at rest. By measuring the basal metabolic rate, we can evaluate the basal metabolic level of individuals, thus calculating the daily energy intake of individuals and providing scientific basis for reasonable nutrition intake.
Knowing the BMR of an individual is helpful to judge whether the individual is in an energy balance state, so as to guide weight management and adjust diet structure, and achieve the purpose of losing weight or gaining weight. By measuring basal metabolic rate, we can evaluate the nutritional status and metabolic function of individuals, help design personalized nutritional intervention programs, and play an important role in the treatment and management of obesity, diabetes, hyperthyroidism and other diseases.
BMR has certain clinical significance in early screening and risk assessment of metabolic diseases, such as hyperthyroidism and metabolic syndrome. The change of basal metabolic rate can be used to judge the progress and therapeutic effect of the disease. Knowing the individual's basal metabolic rate can provide scientific guidance for exercise training, arrange exercise intensity and energy supplement reasonably, improve exercise effect and prevent sports injury.
