• Assessment
    In U.S. residing ethnic indivdiuals, what is the predictive accuracy and maximum overestimations and underestimations in estimating resting metabolic rate (RMR) as compared to measured RMR when using the Mifflin-St. Jeor formula?
    • Conclusion

      It is unclear if this equation can be reliably-applied to U.S.-residing ethnic groups of African Americans, Asian and Pacific Islanders, American Indians, Alaskan Natives and Hispanic populations because of minimal or no representation.

    • Grade: V
      • Grade I means there is Good/Strong evidence supporting the statement;
      • Grade II is Fair;
      • Grade III is Limited/Weak;
      • Grade IV is Expert Opinion Only;
      • Grade V is Not Assignable.
      • High (A) means we are very confident that the true effect lies close to that of the estimate of the effect;
      • Moderate (B) means we are moderately confident in the effect estimate;
      • Low (C) means our confidence in the effect estimate is limited;
      • Very Low (D) means we have very little confidence in the effect estimate.
      • Ungraded means a grade is not assignable.
