Equation of Huang for Estimating the Resting Metabolic Rate (RMR) of a Severely Obese Adult

Description

Huang et al developed an equation for estimating the resting metabolic rate (RMR) of a severely obese adult. The authors are from Royal Prince Alfred Hospital in New South Wales, National Taiwan University and the University of Sydney.

Patient selection: adult with body mass index >= 35 kg per square meter

Parameters"

(1) age in years

(2) gender

(3) weight in kilograms

(4) height in centimeters

(5) diabetes

Parameter	Finding	Points
gender	female	0
	male	1
diabetes	absent	0
	present	1

estimated RMR in kcal per day =

= (257.293 * (points for gender)) - (2.337 * (age)) + (9.996 * (weight)) + (4.132 * (height)) + (145.959 * (points for diabetes)) + 71.767
