name
descriptionThe population metabolic equivalent of task (MET) calculated based on measured exercise metabolic rate and the published research population resting metabolic rate (RMR). Published population RMRs include McMurray 2014 [PMID: 24300125], Byrne 2005 (http://jap.physiology.org/content/99/3/1112), and Wilms 2014 [PMID: 24503879]. The population reference that is used is reported using [LOINC: 82281-7].

scaleQn  =  Quantitative:  The result of the test is a numeric value that relates to a continuous numeric scale. Reported either as an integer, a ratio, a real number, or a range. The test result value may optionally contain a relational operator from the set {<=, <, >, >=}. Valid values for a quantitative test are of the form "7", "-7", "7.4", "-7.4", "7.8912", "0.125", "<10", "<10.15", ">12000", 1-10, 1:256
