• Assessment
    What is the difference in RMR when sleeping overnight as inpatient and walking up to 50 meters to obtain IC measure vs. sleeping at home and driving to Outpatient clinical research setting?
    • Conclusion

      Low levels of physical activity related to daily living have minimal impact on RMR, provided that a suitable rest period follows the activity prior to measurement.a Results of a small study of high quality design in younger adults (Turley, 1993) and a second study of neutral design quality in older adults (Fredrix, 1990) indicate that group mean RMR measurements taken after subjects got out of bed, dressed, traveled by automobile, and walked ~50 meters to the outpatient setting were statistically similar to group mean RMR measurements taken after subjects slept overnight in the outpatient setting.

    • Grade: III
      • Grade I means there is Good/Strong evidence supporting the statement;
      • Grade II is Fair;
      • Grade III is Limited/Weak;
      • Grade IV is Expert Opinion Only;
      • Grade V is Not Assignable.
      • High (A) means we are very confident that the true effect lies close to that of the estimate of the effect;
      • Moderate (B) means we are moderately confident in the effect estimate;
      • Low (C) means our confidence in the effect estimate is limited;
      • Very Low (D) means we have very little confidence in the effect estimate.
      • Ungraded means a grade is not assignable.
