Many symptoms of heat pattern (HP) in traditional medicine are related to thermoregulation; however, research on the association
between energy expenditure characteristics and HP is limited. We aimed to study the association between HP and
resting energy expenditure (REE). A total of 109 participants were divided into the HP and non-HP groups based on a selfadministered
questionnaire and their REE was measured using an indirect calorimeter. Multiple logistic regression models were
used to calculate the odds ratio (OR) of HP according to the level of REE. No significant differences in age, anthropometric, and
body composition characteristics were observed between the HP and the non-HP groups. ,e likelihood of having an HP
significantly increased with higher REE after adjustment for fat-free mass (OR 1.22 [95% CI 1.03–1.46]) and also after additional
adjustment for sex and age (OR 1.21 [95% CI 1.01–1.46]). ,ese results suggest that increased REE could be a biological
characteristic of HP. Future studies are necessary to investigate the underlying mechanisms associated with the differing energy
expenditure in HP. |
