Rationale: Predictive equations for resting energy expenditure (REE) are used in the treatment of overweight and obesity, but the validity of these equations in overweight older adults is unknown. This study evaluates which predictive REE equation is the best alternative to indirect calorimetry in overweight …

BACKGROUND: When indirect calorimetry is not available, predictive equations are used to estimate resing energy expenditure (REE). There is no consensus about which equation to use in hospitalized patients. The objective of this study is to examine the validity of REE predictive equations for underweight, …

Deze scriptie bevat een literatuuronderzoek naar voedingsinterventies voor volwassenen met mitochondriële stofwisselingsziekten en een populatiebeschrijvend onderzoek ten behoeve van de diëtist van het UMC St. Radboud te Nijmegen. Hoofdvragen: 1. Wat is de evidence van de uit de literatuur beschreven …

Background & aims:  Individual energy requirements of overweight and obese adults can often not be measured by indirect calorimetry, mainly due to the time-consuming procedure and the high costs. To analyze which resting energy expenditure (REE) predictive equation is the best alternative for indirect …
