Assessment
What is the test reliability of measurements performed on the same individual over various time periods assuming resting conditions and control for diet-induced thermogenesis, physical activity and body composition are followed?
-
Conclusion
One study (Fredrix, 1990) of neutral quality research design in 22 older adults (mean age: 64±8 years) demonstrated a highly reliable test-retest measures 5-months apart of r=0.96 (R2=65.6%) and in another study of neutral quality research design (Goran, 1993), two monthly RMR measures in 10 younger aged adults (18-28 years) had a moderate reliability of r= 0.72 (intraclass coefficient, ICC, R2=51.8%) was demonstrated.

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.
