Men Burn More Calories Than Women - Study


Men may have the advantage of benefiting more in cutting down calories than women, a study has suggested.


Researchers from various countries, tracked more than 2,000 overweight individuals with pre-diabetes.


Different participants followed a low-calorie diet over a period of eight weeks, with their body conditions compared at the beginning and at the end of the intervention.
 
Pre-diabetes refers to a condition where one’s blood sugar level is higher than normal but has not reached the level to be diagnostically considered diabetes.
 
It is reversible via lifestyle modifications, such as diet, exercise and medication.
The study found out that participants of both sexes lost an average of 11 percent body weight, but men lost 16 per cent more than women.
 
Meanwhile, men had larger reductions in a metabolic syndrome score, a diabetes indicator, fat mass
and heart rate.
 
In contrast, women had larger reductions in High-Density Lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol, hip circumference, lean body mass and pulse pressure than men.
 
It is of good importance to investigate whether the greater reductions in such indices in women after rapid weight loss are indeed of benefits or may compromise weight loss maintenance and future optimal cardiovascular health, the researchers said.
 
“It appears that men benefited more from the intervention than women.
 
“Whether differences between genders persist in the long-term and whether we will need to design different interventions depending on gender will be interesting to follow,” Pia Christensen, one of the researchers said.
