• Assessment
    In U.S. residing ethnic adults, what is the group mean resting metabolic rate (RMR) estimation error compared to measured RMR when using the Owen et al formula?
    • Conclusion

      It is unclear if this equation can be reliably-applied to U.S.-residing ethnic groups of African Americans, Asian and Pacific Islanders, American Indians, Alaskan Natives and Hispanic populations because of minimal or no representation.

    • 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.
