Measured resting energy expenditure (REE) and REEs calculated using the Harris-Benedict equation, Food and Agriculture Organization/World Health Organization/United Nations University (FAO/WHO/UNU) equations (FAO equations), and the Liu equation were compared in Asian women.
REEs were measured using indirect calorimetry in the morning after an overnight fast and compared with REEs calculated using the Harris-Benedict equation, the FAO equations, and the Liu equation. Height, weight, and 3-day diet records were also obtained.
Thirty-six healthy, free-living Asian women aged 19 to 52 years and living in the United States were recruited from Washington State University, Pullman, and completed the study.
Paired t tests, stepwise regression, one-way analysis of variance, and Pearson correlation coefficients were used for the statistical analyses. Significance was set at P < or = .05.
A significant correlation was found between measured REE and REE derived from the Harris-Benedict equation (R = 0.67, P < .0001), the FAO equations (R = 0.70, P < .0001), and the Liu equation (R = 0.70, P < .0001). However, measured REE was significantly lower than REE calculated using the Harris-Benedict and FAO equations by 8.5% (P < .001) and 5.4% (P < .01), respectively. No significant difference was noted between measured REE and REE derived from the Liu equation.
Caution must be taken when predicting REE of Asian women using the Harris-Benedict equation or the FAO equation. Indirect calorimetry or an equation specific to Asians, such as the Liu equation, is recommended when an accurate estimate is necessary.
比较亚洲女性静息能量消耗（REE）的实测值与使用哈里斯-本尼迪克特方程、联合国粮食及农业组织/世界卫生组织/联合国大学（FAO/WHO/UNU）方程（FAO方程）以及刘方程计算得出的REE。
在禁食过夜后的早晨，采用间接测热法测量REE，并将其与使用哈里斯-本尼迪克特方程、FAO方程和刘方程计算得出的REE进行比较。同时获取身高、体重和3天饮食记录。
从华盛顿州立大学普尔曼分校招募了36名年龄在19至52岁之间、生活在美国的健康、自由生活的亚洲女性，并完成了该研究。
采用配对t检验、逐步回归、单因素方差分析和Pearson相关系数进行统计分析。显著性设定为P≤0.05。
实测REE与通过哈里斯-本尼迪克特方程得出的REE之间存在显著相关性（R = 0.67，P < 0.0001），与FAO方程得出的REE之间也存在显著相关性（R = 0.70，P < 0.0001），与刘方程得出的REE之间同样存在显著相关性（R = 他0.70，P < 0.0001）。然而，实测REE分别比使用哈里斯-本尼迪克特方程和FAO方程计算得出的REE显著低8.5%（P < 0.001）和5.4%（P < 0.01）。实测REE与通过刘方程得出的REE之间未发现显著差异。
使用哈里斯-本尼迪克特方程或FAO方程预测亚洲女性的REE时必须谨慎。当需要准确估计时，建议采用间接测热法或特定于亚洲人的方程，如刘方程。
