WTHT: Equation including weight and height; H–B: Harris and Benedict equation; WT: equation including weight; REE: resting energy expenditure; SD standard deviation; Bias: mean difference between the measured REE and the predicted value; LLA: lower limit of agreement; ULA: upper limit of agreement; Bias %: mean bias in %; LLA %: lower limit of agreement in percentage; ULA % upper limit of agreement in percentage; CCC, concordance correlation coefficient; Accurate %: percentage of subjects in which the error of the predictive equation was within 10% of the measured value. Under %: percentage of subjects underestimated by the predictive equation with an error > 10% of the measured value; Over %: percentage of subjects overestimated by the predictive equation with an error > 10% of the measured value. * Equation developed for tropical populations (n = 86). Equations highlighted did not include obese patients. The background colour is used to identify some of the equations.
