Metabolic rate Basal metabolic rate is 1.4 kJ per hour for mildly physically active people and 1.6 kJ per hour for moderately physically active people. For heavy physical workers, the basal metabolic rate is 1.8 kJ.
The basal metabolic rate is the amount of energy expended by the body in the waking and quiet state, independent of muscle activity, environment, temperature, and spirituality.
The rate of basic metabolism per unit of time is called the basal metabolic rate and is not more or less than 15% of the normal value.
If it exceeds 15% of the normal value, it is called an increased basal metabolic rate, e.g., hyperthyroidism. If it is below 20-40% of normal, it is called a decreased basal metabolic rate. It may lead to diseases such as hypothyroidism, and prolonged starvation or undernutrition can also lead to a decrease in the basal metabolic rate.
If the metabolic rate is too high or too low during the examination, it means that there are certain problems in the body. The patient should consult the doctor in time, and under the guidance of professional doctors, correctly regulate.
