Comparison of Predictive Equations for Resting Energy Expenditure in Overweight and Obese Adults

Table 6

Predictive equations proposed in this study using age, gender, BMI, height, and body weight variables.

	Equations	𝑅^2	𝑃	Standard; Deviation
Age (years)	REE = 2250 − (7.9 × A)	0.02	0.16	—
Gender (1 = ♂ and 0 = ♀)	REE = 1675.2 + (453.2 × G)	0.30	<0.01	353.2
BMI	REE = 809.7 + (33.8 × BMI)	0.18	<0.01	381.7
Height (cm)	REE = −2192.1 + (24.8 × H)	0.45	<0.01	311.4
Weight (kg)	REE = 368.9 + (17.4 × W)	0.60	<0.01	267.3
Weight + Gender	REE = 475.3 + (14.9 × W) + (235.8 × G)	0.67	<0.01	245.3
Weight + Gender + Height	REE = −245.3 + (13.6 × W) + (165.8 × G) + (5.3 × H)	0.67	<0.01	244.6
Weight + Gender + Height + Age	REE = −795.9 + (14.5 × W) + (127.3 × G) + (6.5 × H) + (6.1 × A)	0.68	<0.01	241.7

W = weight (kg), H = height (cm), A = age (years), G = gender in which 1 = male and 0 = female, BMI = Body Mass Index.
