Why should basal metabolic rate be used carefully in patient comparison?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Because illness, age and body composition can affect it

Basal metabolic rate is the minimum energy expenditure needed to sustain essential functions under defined resting, fasting and thermoneutral conditions. It is influenced by fat-free mass, age, sex, hormones, fever, infection, trauma and other disease factors. Because patients may differ in these characteristics, BMR alone cannot provide a fair comparison or final energy prescription; clinical assessment and activity must also be considered.
