Abstract
Age, sex, and VAT are the most important determinants of BAT activity under thermoneutral conditions. VAT reflects the association between BAT activity and body fat mass more clearly than BMI. The strength of the association between VAT and BAT decreases during aging in men, but increases in women. This may indicate a different importance of BAT activity for obesity in men and in women.
