Development of a New Equation for the Prediction of Resting Metabolic Rate in Sri Lankan Adults

Development of a New Equation for the Prediction of Resting Metabolic Rate in Sri Lankan Adults

Resting metabolic rate (RMR) is the key determinant of the energy requirement of an individual. Measurement of RMR by indirect calorimetry is not feasible in field settings and therefore equation-based calculations are used. Since a valid equation is not available for Sri Lankans, it is important to...
