Table 1.
Characterisation of the study population: anthropometric data, prevalence of overweight and obesity, body composition and resting energy expenditure (means ±SD, range) (n = 262).
Figure 1.
Masses of brain, heart, liver, kidneys and spleen plotted against height and weight for men (a,c,e,g,i) and women (b.d,f,h,j).
Table 2.
Partial correlation coefficients controlled for age and regression equations between high metabolic rate organs and tissues as well as REE and either body weight or height (n = 262).
Table 3.
Muscle and organ masses adjusted for body height and weight (n = 260) (means±SD, range).
Table 4.
Percentage mean deviations and variances of body composition parameters and REE between measured and calculated values (n = 260) (means, range).
Figure 2.
REE plotted against height and weight for men and women.
Table 5.
Partial correlation coefficients between muscle and organ masses (non-adjusted and adjusted for constitution) and REE controlled for age (n = 262).
Table 6.
Multiple stepwise regression analyses for explained variance of REE independent of constitution in percentage mean deviations between measured and calculates values (n = 262).
