Extract: Resting metabolic rate as measured in 22 women with varying degrees of obesity was highly significantly correlated with body weight, surface area, creatinine excretion and lean body mass calculated either from potassium or water measurements. Correlation with adipose tissue was less strong. When multiple regression of both fat and lean on metabolic rate was performed, the relationship was seen to depend mostly on the mass of lean rather than adipose tissue. It is not valid to assume that fat content can be calculated accurately from a measurement of total body water.
