Table 2. Minimal, maximum and average values as well as standard deviations and coefficients of variation of the basal metabolisms in W and W/m², evaluated by the formulas of Mifflin et al.²⁵⁾ and Black et al.²⁶⁾ for body masses from 50 to 100 kg, heights from 150 to 180 cm and ages from 20 to 60 yr (men) and for body masses from 50 to 90 kg, heights from 150 to 175 cm and ages from 20 to 60 yr (women).
