TG/HDL Ratio Is an Independent Predictor for Estimating Resting Energy Expenditure in Adults with Normal Weight, Overweight, and Obesity.

Factors that determine resting energy expenditure (REE) remain under investigation, particularly in persons with a high body mass index (BMI). The accurate estimation of energy expenditure is essential for conducting comprehensive nutrition assessments, planning menus and meals, prescribing weight and chronic disease interventions, and the prevention of malnutrition. This study aimed to: (a) determine the contribution of cardiometabolic biomarkers to the inter-individual variation in REE in persons categorized by BMI; and (b) assess the contribution of these biomarkers in the prediction of REE when persons of varying BMI status were categorized by their glycemic and metabolic syndrome status.
