City Colleges of Chicago Harold Washington College BMI and RMR Question

 

I need support with this Health & Medical question so I can learn better.

  1. Discuss how to calculate BMI and recommended ranges.
  2. Determine your RMR or that of a friend using the following equation:

(Mifflin et al.,1990)

Estimation for Men: Resting Metabolic Rate (RMR)(kcal/day) = 10 x weight (kg) + 6.25 x height (cm) – 5 x age (yr) + 5

Estimation for Women: Resting Metabolic Rate (RMR)(kcal/day) = 10 x weight (kg) + 6.25 x height (cm) – 5 x age (yr) – 161
