BackgroundEstimating basal energy requirements is important in terms of assessing energy
balance and targeting nutritional support. Assessing Resting Metabolic Rate (RMR) via …

Purpose: Equations published in literature for predicting resting metabolic rate (RMR) in
older individuals were derived from studies with small samples of this age group or …

Background Equations published in the literature for predicting resting metabolic rate (RMR)
in older individuals were exclusively derived from studies with small samples of this age …

Background & aims Accurate estimation of energy expenditure in older people is important
for nutritional support. The current literature contains controversial or inconsistent data …

INTRODUCTION: There is a lack of validation studies of formulas for estimating resting
metabolic rate (RMR) in healthy subjects over 70 years of age. Indirect calorimetry allows …

Background Accurate assessment of energy expenditure and anthropometry in older people
is important for targeted nutritional support. The present study aimed to compare measured …

Purpose Accurate estimation of the energy requirements including resting metabolic rate
(RMR) is important for optimal nutritional care, yet its clinical determinants are unknown …

Background The aging process alters the resting metabolic rate (RMR), but it still accounts
for 50%–70% of the total energy needs. The rising proportion of older adults, especially …

A low relative resting metabolic rate (RMR) is predictive of weight gain over time thus an
accurate assessment of RMR is fundamental to the determination of nutritional requirements …

Objective: To investigate whether or not the lower resting metabolic rate (RMR) in the elderly
is entirely due to changes in body composition. Design: Cross-sectional data of 132 female …
