| Summary: | Objective. To
compare values from predictive equations of
resting energy expenditure (REE) with indirect
calorimetry (IC) in overweight and obese adults.
Methods. Eighty-two
participants aged 30 to 60 years old were
retrospectively analyzed. The persons had a body
mass index ≥25 kg/m2.
REE was estimated by IC and other five equations
of the literature (Harris and Benedict, WHO1, WHO2,
Owen, Mifflin). Results. All
equations had different values when compared to
those of IC. The best values were found by
Harris and Benedict, WHO1, and WHO2, with high
values of intraclass correlation coefficient and
low values of mean difference. Furthermore, WHO1
and WHO2 showed lower systematic error and
random. Conclusion. No
predictive equations had the same values of REE
as compared to those of indirect calorimetry,
and those which least underestimated REE were
the equations of WHO1, WHO2, and Harris and
Benedict. The next step would be to validate the
new equation proposed. |
