1 Values presented as a mean ± standard deviation, percentage, or median (range).2 Dry body weight. .3 Measured with indirect calorimetry. 4ASM/ht2: men<7, women<5.5. ∗Significant difference between HD participants with and HD participants without REE measured according to an independent t-test (p < 0.05).
