BMI = Weight (kg)
[Height (m)]2
where
1 inch= 2,54 cm
1 kg = 2,205 lbs
..: Basal Metabolism Calculation
This is the equation suggested by USA National Academy of Sciences-Institute of Medicine-Food and NutritionBoard (http://www.iom.edu/) (kcal/jour):
| 3 - 18 years | m = 68 - 43,3 a + 19,2 w + 712 h f = 189 - 17,6 a + 7,9 w + 625 h |
| 19 years and older | m = 293 - 3,8 a + 10,12 w + 456,4 h f = 247 - 2,67 a + 8,60 w + 401,5 h |
where
w = weight in kg
h = height in m
a = age in year
m = male
f = female
This is the equation suggested by Harris-Benedict (kcal/jour):
| m = 66,47 - 6,76 a + 13,75 w + 500 h f = 655,1 - 4,68 a + 9,56 w + 185 h |
where
w = weight in kg
h = height in m
a = age in year
m = male
f = female
