Energy balance
There was no difference in 24-h energy expenditure (EE) between Caucasian and Pima Indian men (2,422 vs. 2,523 kcal/24 h).
Practitioners should note that ethnic differences may not significantly affect energy expenditure in these populations.
StrongRefutesmedium confidence
There was no difference between the two groups in 24-h EE (2,422 vs. 2,523 kcal/24 h).
Why this rating
Based on the study design involving direct measurement of energy expenditure.
