Research Abstract

The increasing prevalence of the metabolic syndrome (MS) associated with sedentary living constitutes a major public health problem. This study aims to assess the resting energy expenditure (REE) in a sample of Japanese industrial workers with MS and to estimate CO2 excretion. The study was set in the manufacturing plant of SHARP Corporation, and participants were recruited directly through the records of adult annual medical check-up. The REE was measured using a handheld indirect calorimeter, and estimated CO2 excretion was calculated from oxygen consumption using a modified Weir equation. Estimated CO2 excretion was 262+/-81kg/year in the non-MS group and 290+/-69kg/year in the MS group. Our preliminary data indicate that the metabolic syndrome, obesity, and global warming are linked through higher CO2 excretion.
