  • Assessment
    In obese adults, what is the prediction accuracy and maximum overestimation and underestimation resting metabolic rate (RMR) errors compared to measured RMR when using the WHO/FAO/UNU formula?
    • Conclusion

      Individual prediction accuracy within +/- 10% is not reported for obese U.S.-residing adults using the World Health Organization/ Food & Agricultural Organization/United Nations University (WHO/FAO/UNU) equation.

    • 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.
