Figure 1From: Longitudinal change in energy expenditure and effects on energy requirements of the elderly Changes in resting metabolic rate versus changes in fat free mass. Correlation between the changes in FFM and RMR in both men and women from visit 1 (1999) to visit 2 (2006). The change in RMR was positively correlated with the change in FFM for men (r = 0.49, p < 0.001) but not for women (r = −0.08, ns). FFM = Fat Free Mass. RMR = Resting Metabolic Rate.Back to article page
