ABSTRACT
Basal metabolic rate (BMR) is of great significance to the setting of daily energy requirements and the scientific diet guidance for the population. There are 3 kinds of measurement methods for BMR, including the direct calorimetry, the indirect calorimetry, and the equation estimation. The direct calorimetry method is difficult to implement and is only used in some special populations. The indirect calorimetry and the equation estimation are two methods that are currently used commonly. The indirect calorimetry is highly accurate and suitable for individual for basal metabolic measurement or datum collection via equation estimation. The equation estimation is simple and convenient, which is suitable for large samples.
