About the Schofield Equation
The Schofield equation is recommended by the World Health Organization (WHO) for estimating BMR. It uses age-specific, weight-based equations that cover all age groups from infancy to old age, making it particularly useful in clinical and paediatric settings.
Unlike the Mifflin-St Jeor equation which requires both height and weight, the Schofield equation only requires weight and age. This makes it practical when height data is unavailable, such as in bedridden patients or young children.
