Answer to Question 1

BEE = 66 + 13.7 x wt + 5 x ht - 6.8 x age
= 66 + 13.7 x 60.5 + 5 x 182.9 - 6.8 x 73
= 66 + 828.8 + 914.5 - 496.4
= 1312.9 x stress factor

Answer to Question 2

They are the same for all three classifications. This should speak for itself for the sufficiency of the RDAs. There are many individuals in their eighties and nineties who are very active while some in their sixties are vegetating in nursing homes. Do they have the same nutritional requirements?
