Table 2. Energy expenditure of the study subjects.

¹⁾Mean±SD

²⁾REE: Resting energy expenditure

³⁾REE adjusted for body weight

⁴⁾REE adjusted for fat-free mass

⁵⁾Total energy expenditure measured with the DLW method

⁶⁾TEE_DLW adjusted for body weight

⁷⁾TEE_DLW adjusted for fat-free mass

⁸⁾Estimated energy requirement predicted by the DRI equation.

⁹⁾PAL=TEE_DLW (kcal/day) / REE (kcal/day)

Significant differences between male and female subjects by independent t-test at ^*P<0.05 or ^***P<0.001.
