Formula & Clinical Notes

Formula

Men: 10W + 6.25H − 5A + 5 · Women: 10W + 6.25H − 5A − 161

Clinical Notes

Mifflin-St Jeor: men BMR = 10W + 6.25H − 5A + 5; women BMR = 10W + 6.25H − 5A − 161 (weight kg, height cm, age years). BMR is the energy needed at rest; total daily needs = BMR × activity factor. It is the most accurate predictive equation for healthy adults.
