Greater body mass index is related to greater self-identified cold tolerance and greater insensible body mass loss

Abstract Background Insensible body mass loss (IBL) from the human body continuously occurs, which is an important component in body heat exchange. The purpose of this study was to examine the relevance of IBL to anthropometric characteristics and self-identified thermal tolerance. Methods A total o...
