A new predictive equation for resting energy expenditure in healthy individuals
MD Mifflin, ST St Jeor, LA Hill, BJ Scott… - The American journal of …, 1990 - Elsevier
ABSTRACT A predictive equation for resting energy expenditure (REE) was derived from
data from 498 healthy subjects, including females (n= 247) and males (n= 251), aged 19–78
y (45±14 y, x̄±SD). Normal-weight (n= 264) and obese (n= 234) individuals were studied
and REE was measured by indirect calorimetry. Multiple-regression analyses were
employed to drive relationships between REE and weight, height, and age for both men and
women (R 2= 0.71): REE= 9.99 x weight+ 6.25 x height-4.92 x age+ 166 x sex (males, 1; …
