ABSTRACT
PURPOSE: This preliminary study aimed to develop a regression model to estimate the non-exercise activity thermogenesis (NEAT) of Korean adults using various easy-to-measure dependent variables.
METHODS: NEAT was measured in 71 healthy adults (male n = 29; female n = 42). Statistical analysis was performed to develop a NEAT estimation regression model using the stepwise regression method.
RESULTS: We confirmed that ageA, weightB, heart rate (HR)_averageC, weight × HR_averageD, weight × HR_sumE, systolic blood pressure (SBP) × HR_restF, fat mass ÷ height2G, gender × HR_averageH, and gender × weight × HR_sumI were important variables in various NEAT activity regression models. There was no significant difference between the measured NEAT values obtained using a metabolic gas analyzer and the predicted NEAT.
CONCLUSION: This preliminary study developed a regression model to estimate the NEAT in healthy Korean adults. The regression model was as follows: sitting = 1.431 – 0.013 × (A) + 0.00014 × (D) – 0.00005 × (F) + 0.006 × (H); leg jiggling = 1.102 – 0.011 × (A) + 0.013 × (B) + 0.005 × (H); standing = 1.713 – 0.013 × (A) + 0.0000017 × (I); 4.5 km/h walking = 0.864 + 0.035 × (B) + 0.0000041 × (E); 6.0 km/h walking = 4.029 – 0.024 × (C) + 0.00071 × (D); climbing up 1 stair = 1.308 – 0.016 × (A) + 0.00035 × (D) – 0.000085 × (F) – 0.098 × (G); and climbing up 2 stairs = 1.442 – 0.023 × (A) – 0.000093 × (F) – 0.121 × (G) + 0.0000624 × (E).
