Assessment
In older adults, what is the prediction accuracy and maximum overestimation and underestimations compared to measured RMR when using the Owen et al formula?
- Conclusion
  
  One study of neutral quality reported relative individual errors can range from overestimation of RMR by 12% o underestimation 27% in older adult, Caucasian women.
- Grade: III
  - 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.
In the oldest-old adults (age 85 and over), what is the predictive accuracy and maximum overestimation and underestimation resting metabolic rate (RMR) errors compared to measured RMR when using the Owen et al formula?
- Conclusion
  
  There are insufficient studies to evaluate the applicability of the conclusion statement to oldest-old (i.e., populations aged 85 years or older).
- 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.
