Forward stepwise regression: retains variables with P ≤0.2. Variables tested included age, total body mass, FM, FFM and group. Retained variables were as follows:				0.883	<0.0001
Body mass (kg)	12.12		<0.001
Group	−143.95		0.006

Abbreviations: REE, resting energy expenditure; FFM, fat free mass; FM, fat mass.
