About

This Study is focused on the interaction between resting metabolic rate (RMR), physical activity (PA), and thyroid hormones (TH). TH controls almost all the cell activities of the body so, it is known as one of the major regulatory hormones. This is the reason for individuals who suffer from thyroid disorders show abnormal metabolism. Recently it was suggested that interindividual variations in thyroid hormone levels also influence daily physical activity.

Full description

In this study, investigators will recruit adult females with a BMI ≥18.5. After the screening process, eligible volunteers will undergo certain measurements including body composition, resting metabolism daily physical activity, thyroid hormone levels, and total energy expenditure. The investigators will access the changes in resting metabolism and daily physical activities with the differences in thyroid hormone levels.
