Description
Summary:Objective. The aim of this study was to determine which of the seven selected equations used to predict basal metabolic rate most accurately estimated the measured basal metabolic rate. Methods. Twenty-eight adult women with type 2 diabetes mellitus participated in this cross-sectional study. Anthropometric and biochemical variables were measured as well as body composition (by absorptiometry dual X-ray emission) and basal metabolic rate (by indirect calorimetry); basal metabolic rate was also estimated by prediction equations. Results. There was a significant difference between the measured and the estimated basal metabolic rate determined by the FAO/WHO/UNU ( P v a l u e < 0.021 ) and Huang et al. ( P v a l u e ≤ 0.005 ) equations. Conclusion. The calculations using Owen et al’s. equation were the closest to the measured basal metabolic rate.
