Using the Harris-Benedict equation for women (below), estimate the resting metabolic rate of Mrs. Clements, who is 72 years old, is 157 cm tall, and weigh 53 kg. RMR + 655.1 + [9.563 X weight (kg)] + [1.85 x height (cm)] - [4.676 x age (years)]

An 82-year-old woman with diabetes comes into your nutritional clinic. You want to assess her BMR. So, you measure her height to be 5'4" (163 cm) and she weighs 190 pounds (86 kg). Calculate her BMR to the nearest whole number: BMR = (10 * weight in kg) + (6.25 * height in cm) - (5 * age in years)

Harris-Benedict Equation REE for females = 655.1 + 9.6 W + 1.9 H – 4.7 A REE for males = 66.5 + 13.8 W + 5.0 H – 6.8 A [W, weight in kg; H, height in cm; A, age in years] Mifflin–St. Jeor Equation Men: RMR = (9.99 × weight) + (6.25 × height) – (4.92 × age) + 5 Women: RMR = (9.99 × weight) + (6.25 × height) – (4.92 × age) – 161 [weight in kg; height in cm; age in years] American College of Chest Physicians Equation REE = 25 × weight (kg) [If BMI = 16–25, use usual body weight; If BMI >25, use ideal body weight; and if BMI <16, use existing body weight for first 7–10 days, then use ideal body weight.] Penn State 2003b Equation RMR = Mifflin × 0.71 + VE (64) + Tmax (85) – 3085 [ve, minute volume (in L/min); Tmax, maximum body temp in previous 24 hours]

Basal Metabolism - Harris-Benedict Formula For WOMEN: BMR = 665 + (9.6 x wt in kg) + (1.8 x ht in cm) – (4.7 x age in yr) For MEN: BMR = 66 + (13.7 x wt in kg) + (5 x ht in cm) – (6.8 x age in yr) Show your work.
