How Gender affects the bmr?

We have already emphasized earlier that sex difference in metabolic rates are primarily attributable to difference in body size and composition. Women who have generally more fat in proportion to muscle than men, have metabolic rates which are 5-10% lower than men of the same weight and height. Thus, differences in BMR between genders are due to the greater level of body fatness in women.
