I'm assuming you mean Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR).

Most conventional formulas to estimate BMR use your current weight, height, and age. With that, current weight and height increase your BMR while age decreases it.

Other factors include lean body mass (increase) and gender (males typically have a higher BMR).
