The purpose of the study is to compare the mostcommonly used predictive formulas of resting metabolicrate used in the field with the indirect caloricmethod. The study group consisted of 20 males(Xage=39,5?12,5 years, Xweight =78,8 ?12,5 kg, Xheight=173,6 ? 6,4 cm, Xbmi=26,05?3,21 kg/m2) and 13 women(Xage=35,2? 9,6 years, Xweight = 68,21?12,6 kg, Xheight=162,8?4,9 cm, Xbmi=25,83?5,88 kg/m2). The restingmetabolic rate measurements of the study groupwere measured with a COSMED K5 instrument. Theheight dimensions for the estimation formulas weremeasured with the Holtain Portable Stadiometer andthe body weights with the Tanita MC 780 instrument.The research group was provided with a silent anddim environment for the room where the measurementwas made, and keeping the temperature at 20-22°C during the tests. The measurement of restingmetabolic rate of the study group was started foreach participant between 8-9 hours in the morning andafter resting in a supine position extending for 20 minutes.The resting metabolic rate measurement lasted 15minutes and the last 10 minutes were recorded. Bland-Altman method and regression analysis were applied tothe resting metabolic rate obtained from Cosmed K5 deviceand SPSS 17.0 package program for harmony betweenthe values obtained from Harris-Benedict, Mifflin,Liu’s, Maffeis, Schofield and WHO estimation formulas.For significance level P<0.05 was taken. When the regressionanalyzes are examined, it has been determinedthat the values obtained from men in the estimationformulas are higher than those obtained from females.Since men and women who constitute our researchgroup were included in the overweight population, weconcluded that Miflin in males and Maffeis estimation infemales were the most appropriate predictive equationto be used for estimating the resting metabolic rate formales and females in similar populations.
