• Assessment
    In U.S. residing ethnic groups, what are the group mean errors in estimating resting metabolic rate (RMR) compared to measured RMR when using the Mifflin-St. Jeor formula?
    • Conclusion

      It is unclear if the Mifflin-St. Jeor 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.
