Table 4 The percentage of accurate, underestimated and overestimated BMR predictions for all subjects and subcategorized for a BMI smaller and greater than 23, BMR prediction equations are ranked according to overall accuracy for the cross-sectional study (n = 232) and underestimated and overestimated BMR predictions for all subjects of the cross-validation study (n = 70)
From: Estimation of basal metabolic rate in Chinese: are the current prediction equations applicable?
