“…We studied the relationship between the basal metabolism rate by unit of dry weight (BMR/kg DW) and the dry weight or the water-free weight DW in human beings. Then, we observed that until puberty the system presents increasing complexity and selforganization (Barragán and Sánchez, 2013). From the point of view of the geometric system, this implies a flat parameter space, in which cycle after cycle some variables resume their original values (Kauffman, 1991;Graudenzi et al, 2011).…”

Keeping in mind the relationship between the basal metabolic rate and the change in weight in the aging process, we propose to generate a model of the same. As a result of data transformation, we obtained a graphic representation that is consistent with the original data. This representation manifested that after puberty, the parameter space loses its initial planarity. Thus, the model helps to sustain that the geometric phase changes that occur when the parameter space undergoes a gradual curvature, can contribute to explaining the biological aging process.
