abstract = {Having valid and reliable resting energy expenditure (REE) estimations is crucial to
establish reachable goals for dietary and exercise interventions. However, most of the REE predictive
equations were developed some time ago and, as the body composition of the current population
has changed, it is highly relevant to assess the validity of REE predictive equations in contemporary
young adults. In addition, little is known about the role of sex and weight status on the validity of
these predictive equations. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the role of sex and weight status
in congruent validity of REE predictive equations in young adults. A total of 132 young healthy adults
(67.4% women, 18–26 years old) participated in the study. We measured REE by indirect calorimetry
strictly following the standard procedures, and we compared it to 45 predictive equations. The most
accurate equations were the following: (i) the Schofield and the “Food and Agriculture Organization
of the United Nations/World Health Organization/United Nations” (FAO/WHO/UNU) equations
in normal weight men; (ii) the Mifflin and FAO/WHO/UNU equations in normal weight women;
(iii) the Livingston and Korth equations in overweight men; (iv) the Johnstone and Frankenfield
equations in overweight women; (v) the Owen and Bernstein equations in obese men; and (vi) the
Owen equation in obese women. In conclusion, the results of this study show that the best equation
to estimate REE depends on sex and weight status in young healthy adults.},
