calculate_rmr: Calculate resting metabolic rate

In MarijnJABoer/befitteR: A bundle of health, fitness, food and body related equations, formula's and more, so you can become fit

Description

\lifecycle

stable

Calculates the resting metabolic rate using various equations. RMR is synonymous with Resting energy expenditure (REE), but not with BMR or BEE Keep in mind that these calculations are estimates. For more information go to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basal_metabolic_rate.

\lifecycle

soft-deprecated calculate_mean_rmr calculates your mean rmr from all available methods in calculate_rmr.

Usage

calculate_rmr(
  weight,
  height = NULL,
  age = NULL,
  sex = NULL,
  bfp = NULL,
  equation = "mifflin"
)

calculate_ree(
  weight,
  height = NULL,
  age = NULL,
  sex = NULL,
  bfp = NULL,
  equation = "mifflin"
)

calculate_mean_rmr(weight, height, age, sex, bfp = NULL)

Arguments

weight	weight in kg.
height	height in centimeters, Default: NULL.
age	age in years, Default: NULL.
sex	male or female, Default: NULL.
bfp	body fat percentage. Optional variable, used when equation is 'katch-mcardle', Default: NULL.
equation	character string setting the equation (see details), Default: 'revised-harris-benedict'.

Details

rmr is calculated as follows:

rmr_{harris-benedict|male} = 66.4730 + 13.7516 \times weight + 5.0033 \times height - 6.7550 \times age

rmr_{harris-benedict|female} = 655.0955 + 9.5634 \times weight + 1.8496 \times height - 4.6756 \times age

rmr_{revised-harris-benedict|male} = 88.362 + 13.397 \times weight + 4.799 \times height - 5.677 \times age

rmr_{revised-harris-benedict|female} = 447.593 + 9.247 \times weight + 3.098 \times height - 4.330 \times age

rmr_{mifflin|male} = 10 \times weight + 6.25 \times height - 5 \times age + 5

rmr_{mifflin|female} = 10 \times weight + 6.25 \times height - 5 \times age - 161

rmr_{katch-mcardle} = 370 + 21.6 \times weight \times (1 - (\frac{bfp}{100}))

rmr_{katch-mcardle-hybrid} = 370 \times (1 - \frac{bfp}{100}) + 21.6 \times weight \times (1 - \frac{bfp}{100}) + 6.17 \times weight \times \frac{bfp}{100}

rmr_{cunningham} = 500 + 22 \times weight \times (1 - (\frac{bfp}{100})

Value
