In this paper, the authors have inadvertently provided the correct predictive equation for BMR but in kcal/d instead of kJ/d.

Therefore, in the last paragraph of the Results

instead of:

The generated equations are:

$$\[--><$$l>\matrix{ {\rm{Males,}}\;{\rm{BMR}}\;({\rm{kJ}}/{\rm{d}})\, = \,({\rm{9}}{\rm{.99}}\,\times \,{\rm{BM}})\, + \,({\rm{7}}{\rm{.14}}\,\times \,{\rm{S}})\,{\rm{ - }}\,({\rm{2}}{\rm{.79}}\,\times \,{\rm{A}})\, - \,{\rm{450}}{\rm{.5}} \hfill \\ ({{{\rm{R}}}^{\rm{2}}} \, = \,{\rm{0}}{\rm{.87}};\;{\rm{SEE}}\, = \,{\rm{290}}{\rm{.0}}\;{\rm{kJ}}/{\rm{d}})\hfill<! \\ >\eqno\rm$$

and

$$\[--><$$l>\matrix{ {\rm{Females,}}\;{\rm{BMR}}\;({\rm{kJ}}/{\rm{d}})\, = \,({\rm{8}}{\rm{.95}}\,\times \,{\rm{BM}})\, + \,({\rm{8}}{\rm{.87}}\,\times \,{\rm{S}})\, - \,({\rm{0}}{\rm{.70}}\,\times \,{\rm{A}})\, - \,{\rm{814}}{\rm{.3}}\hfill \\ ({{{\rm{R}}}^{\rm{2}}} \, = \,{\rm{0}}{\rm{.83}};\;{\rm{SEE}}\, = \,{\rm{254}}{\rm{.5}}\;{\rm{kJ}}/{\rm{d}})\hfill<! \\ >\eqno\rm$$

where SEE is the standard error of the estimate.

it should read:

The generated equations are:

$$\[--><$$l>\matrix{ {\rm{Males,}}\;{\rm{BMR}}\;({\rm{kJ}}/{\rm{d}})\, = \,({\rm{41}}{\rm{.79}}\,\times \,{\rm{BM}})\, + \,({\rm{29}}{\rm{.86}}\,\times \,{\rm{S}})\, - \,({\rm{11}}{\rm{.69}}\,\times \,{\rm{A}})\, - \,{\rm{1884}}{\rm{.93}}<! \\ >\hfill\cr({{{\rm{R}}}^{\rm{2}}} \, = \,{\rm{0}}{\rm{.87}};\;{\rm{SEE}}\, = \,{\rm{290}}{\rm{.0}}\;{\rm{kJ}}/{\rm{d}})\hfill<! \\ >\rm$$

and

$$\[--><$$l>\matrix {{\rm{Females,}}\;{\rm{BMR}}\;({\rm{kJ}}/{\rm{d}})\, = \,({\rm{37}}{\rm{.46}}\,\times \,{\rm{BM}})\, + \,({\rm{37}}{\rm{.13}}\,\times \,{\rm{S}})\, - \,({\rm{2}}{\rm{.92}}\,\times \,{\rm{A}})\, - \,{\rm{3407}}{\rm{.09}}\hfill \\ ({{{\rm{R}}}^{\rm{2}}} \, = \,{\rm{0}}{\rm{.83}};\;{\rm{SEE}}\, = \,{\rm{254}}{\rm{.5}}\;{\rm{kJ}}/{\rm{d}})\hfill<! \\ >\eqno\rm$$

where SEE is the standard error of the estimate.

The SEE in kcal/d of the equations are 69.3 and 60.8 kcal/d for males and females, respectively.
