• Assessment
    In U.S. residing ethnic groups, what are the group mean errors in estimating resting metabolic rate (RMR) compared to measured RMR when using the Harris-Benedict formula?
    • Conclusion

      It is unclear if this equation can be reliably-applied to U.S.-residing ethnic groups of African Americans, Asian and Pacific Islanders, American Indians, Alaskan Natives and Hispanic populations because of minimal or no representation.
