Obesity similarly affects all races and both sexes.6 As a consequence of the co-morbidities of obesity and of the associated costs such as days off work, obesity costs the US economy about 100–200 billion dollars per year.7. The reason for this is18 because obesity-associated metabolic complications occur at lower BMI's in Chinese people compared to in European/North American populations; since obesity is defined as the statistical point at which obesity-associated complication rates accelerate for a population, the definition of obesity for the Chinese population should match the BMI-specific and population-specific complication rates.17,19,20 Overall, the consensus is that BMI cut-offs for obesity showed be lower in China whereby over-weight was defined as BMI of 24–27.9 kg/m2 and obesity was defined as BMI >27.9 kg/m.2,21,22, The predisposition of Chinese people to the metabolic complications of obesity appears to span the gamut of obesity-associated complications.23,24 For example, Chinese people are predisposed to develop glucose intolerance, diabetes,19,25,26 coronary artery disease,27,28 hypertension29 and hyperlipidemia30,31 at lower BMI's compared to European/United States' populations.

Thomas GN, Hong AW, Tomlinson B, Lam CW, Critchley JA, Sanderson JE, et al. Overall, for the vast majority of people, NEAT must explain why an active person can expend 8368 kJ/d (2000 kcal/d) more than an inactive person of the same size.

Nearly all of its variability (-80% of the variance) is accounted for by body size - or more precisely lean body mass - the bigger a person, the greater their basal metabolic rate.70 The thermic effect of food is the energy expended in response to a meal and is that associated with digestion, absorption, and fuel storage.70,71 The thermic effect of food accounts for about 10% of daily energy needs and does not vary greatly between people.
