Assessment
In non-obese individuals, what is the prediction accuracy and maximum overestimation and understimation errors compared to measured resting metabolic rate when using the Owen et al formula?
-
Conclusion
The Owen, et al. equation predicted RMR within 10% of measured RMR in 73% of non-obese adults in a high quality research methods design; the remaining 27% included 6% overestimation and 21% underestimation errors. The individual error range was an overestimate by 28% to an underestimate of 24%, indicating a large variation.

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.
