First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method for correcting a parameter for weight variation comprising the steps of:
- selecting one of a subject person parameter (Ps) and a reference person parameter (Pr),adjusting the other parameter in accordance with the formula wherein wts is the weight of the subject person corresponding to Ps and x ranges from 0.25 to 037, and wherein y=(wtr)z, wherein wtr is the weight of the reference person corresponding to Pr and z ranges from 0.25 to 0.37 to provide an adjusted parameter, andpresenting the adjusted parameter for comparison with a measured or preselected parameter for the subject person.

Abstract
A method is provided for correcting reference parameters based on weight variations of a subject. The parameters that can be corrected may be metabolic rate, metabolic equivalent (MET), dehydration rate, drug dosage, exercise intensity, calorie usage, work level, and oxygen consumption. A corrected parameter for a subject can be determined by the factor
to obtain a corrected parameter (Ps). In the factor, wts is the weight of the subject, x is preferably ⅓, Pr is the reference parameter to be corrected, and y is preferably (wtr)z, wherein wtr is the reference weight and z is preferably ⅓.
