Objectives The methods currently available for the measurement of energy expenditure in patients, such as indirect calorimetry and double-labelled water, are expensive and are limited in Brazil to research projects. Thus, ...

Objective: To investigate the applicability of predictive equations for resting energy expenditure (REE) in obese individuals with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and the effects of OSA severity on REE. Materials and methods: ...

Patients on intensive care present systemic, metabolic, and hormonal alterations that may adversely affect their nutritional condition and lead to fast and important depletion of lean mass and malnutrition. Several factors ...

Objetivo: Investigar a aplicabilidade de equações preditivas para o gasto energético de repouso (REE) em obesos com apneia obstrutiva do sono (AOS) e os efeitos da gravidade da AOS em REE. Materiais e métodos: Vinte e ...

Background Currently, the execution of indirect calorimetry, which is considered the gold standard for measuring energy expenditure, is not indicate during dialysis, and it may interfere on nutritional therapy of these ...

Background/aims: Protein-energy wasting (PEW) is common in the end-stage of chronic kidney disease (CKD) and can be caused by factors related to poor dietary intake and changes in energy expenditure. Indirect calorimetry ...

Background: Elderly patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) usually have a compromised nutritional status which is an independent predictor of morbidity and mortality. To know the Resting Energy Expenditure ...
