Comment on Restrepo-Botero et al. Sum of skinfold-corrected girths correlates with resting energy expenditure: development of NRGco equation. Nutrients 2024, 16, 3121
We read with interest the article published by Restrepo-Botero et al. [1], which aimed to evaluate the performance of three predictive equations (PEs) commonly used in clinical practice for estimating resting energy expenditure (REE): Harris–Benedict, Mifflin–St. Jeor, and FAO/WHO/UNU. Additionally,...

| Sumario: | We read with interest the article published by Restrepo-Botero et al. [1], which aimed to evaluate the performance of three predictive equations (PEs) commonly used in clinical practice for estimating resting energy expenditure (REE): Harris–Benedict, Mifflin–St. Jeor, and FAO/WHO/UNU. Additionally, the authors developed a new equation to estimate REE in Colombian adults with moderate-to-high levels of physical activity. To assess the predictive accuracy of these equations, the authors compared the estimated REE with that measured using indirect calorimetry (IC). They employed correlation tests to analyze whether the estimated and measured REE values varied similarly and concordance tests to determine the quantitative match between the estimates and actual measurements, including an analysis of potential biases. |
