FIGURE. Effect of using different methodologies to adjust resting metabolic rate
Changes in fat mass and RMR are shown from mid- to late pregnancy (weeks 22–36). Changes in RMR from mid- to late pregnancy are expressed as percentage change absolute values (A), as percentage change in the ratio, RMR/FFM (B), as percentage adaptive thermogenesis, using FFM as the only independent determinant of RMR (C), and as percentage adaptive thermogenesis, using FFM, FM, and age as independent determinants of RMR (D).
