    What are the reported activity level factors with measured RMR in healthy older adults?
    • Conclusion

      Five studies were evaluated regarding the physical activity factors with measured RMR in healthy older adults.  The use of physical activity levels ranging from 1.25 (sedentary) to 1.75 (very active) resulted in mean total daily energy estimates of 25 - 35 kcal/kg/day in females and 30 - 40 kcal/kg/day in males.  Emerging research reports a decreased energy efficiency in older adults compared with younger adults; further research is needed in this area.

       
    • Grade: II
      • 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.
    What are the reported activity level factors with measured RMR in older adults who are acutely/chronically ill and/or underweight?
    • Conclusion

      One study was evaluated regarding the physical activity factors with measured RMR in older adults who are acutely/chronically ill and/or underweight.  The use of physical activity levels ranging from 1.25 - 1.5 resulted in mean total daily energy estimates of 25 - 30 kcal/kg/day.  Further research is needed in this area.
