Individual predictors of portion size: Association between metabolic rate, body composition and portion size in adults and children.

Activity: Talk or presentation for an academic audience › Invited talk for an academic audience

Description

This presentation discussed the findings from a public engagement project conducted at the Science Museum London. The study focused on identifying individual predictors of portion size, exploring the relationships between resting metabolic rate, body composition, and portion size in both adults and children. Our results demonstrated that individual predictors, such as resting metabolic rate and body composition, were more consistently associated with portion size than BMI, suggesting that a more detailed approach is needed for understanding and addressing food intake behaviours.
