摘要：

To devise a simple and accurate formula for calculating the basal energy needs of individuals in various age groups, an attempt was made to simplify and optimize Harris & Benedict's method along with the WHO/FAO/UNU formula using a computer program. Initially, a preliminary structure was determined for the proposed simplified formula. Subsequently, the coefficients of this formula were determined by simulating two million individuals using a computer program and analyzing their basal energy requirements using the Harris-Benedict and WHO/FAO/UNU formulas. The formula was subsequently tested on 452 real male and female subjects aged 3-80 years. Results showed no significant difference in the values calculated by the old and new methods, and therefore confirmed the accuracy of the new formula. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science Inc.
