Patent ID: 7708699

Claim:
A method comprising: determining, by a computer, a resting metabolic rate of a subject by applying a Kail-Waters equation represented by: RESTING METABOLIC RATE=2307.63+[−7.53(CM)]+[27.09(KG)]+[−42.59(BMI)]+[−45.47(PRE-FIRE)]+[45.85(FIRE)]+[−46.27(FIRE-PRE-FIRE)], wherein CM represents a height of a subject; KG is a weight of the subject; BMI represents a body mass index of the subject; PRE-FIRE is a time, from a strike at a trigger point for a reflex response to initiation of the reflex response; and FIRE is a time, of the reflex response; and producing a result, by the computer, including the resting metabolic rate for determination of a medical condition of the subject.
