Soares et al reported an equation for estimating the basal metabolic rate (BMR) of an Indian male. The authors are from St. John's Medical College in Bangalore, India
Patient selection: Indian male
Parameters:
(1) weight in kilograms
(2) age in years
basal metabolic rate in kiloJoules per day =
= (48.7 * (weight)) - (14.1 * (age)) + 3599
The authors found that the basal metabolic rates were similar for several populations if controlled for age and weight.
