- Four metabolic parameters predict weight gain in Pima Indians: low relative resting metabolic rate (RMR), low level of spontaneous physical activity (SPA), high 24 h respiratory quotient (RQ), and high insulin sensitivity (IS).Good
- After gaining weight, the original deviation from predicted metabolic values tends to diminish, indicating a decreasing physiological drive for further weight gain.Good
