Answer to Question 1

Children require more kilocalories per pound of body weight because they are growing. As people age, the basal metabolic rate decreases. Women require more kilocalories during pregnancy and lactation. BMR increases during fever and for people living and working in extremely hot or cold climates. A person's BMR resembles that of his or her parents.
