Nelson et al reported several equations for estimating resting energy expenditure (REE) for adults. The authors are from Baptist Medical Centers in Birmingham, Alabama.
Patient selection: adult
Parameters:
(1) fat-free mass (FFM) in kilograms
(2) fat mass (FM) in kilograms
total body weight =
= (fat-free mass) + (fat mass)
REE in kJoules per 24 hour =
= (93.3 * (FFM)) +1265
REE in kJoules per 24 hour =
= (90.4 * (FFM)) + (13.2 * (FM)) + 1114
REE in kJoules per 24 hour =
= (108 * (FFM)) + (16.9 * (FM))
