Bland-Altman plots and relationship between bias of total energy expenditure (TEE) and BMI. In the graph on the left, the thick straight line represents mean, and the dashed lines represent the lower and upper limits of agreement (± 2 standard deviations). a TEE estimated using the equation of Dietary Reference Intakes (DRI) for Japanese [4]. b TEE estimated using the Institute of Medicine (IOM) equation [5]. c TEE estimated using the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nation (FAO) equation [12]. In the graph on the right, the relationship between bias (predicted minus measured TEE) and BMI was examined using partial correlation analysis, adjusting for measurement timing
