Overweight and obese people have a higher metabolic rate and a smaller ratio of body surface to body weight than people with normal weight Therefore, they also have a higher heart rate than people with normal weight

Answer:

A change in the anthropometric index across the distribution (5-95 percentile) resulted in a decrease in the E/I ratio of 0.032-0.037 and a decrease in the HRMax-Min of 1.56-2.39 beats/min.
