Figure 1

Comparison of different methods for determining female subjects’ REE before and after the 6-month intervention.Legend: REE, measured resting energy expenditure; HB, Harris–Benedict’s method; MSJ, Mifflin–St Jeor’s method; O, Owen’s method; W, Wright’s method.* The difference before and after the intervention was statistically significant in females at the level of p<0.05.
