Gasto energético de repouso em idosos longevos saudáveis: fatores associados e uso de fórmulas preditivas
Resting energy expenditure in healthy long-lived elderly individuals: associated factors and use of predictive formulas

Introdução: O processo de envelhecimento está associado a uma redução progressiva do gasto energético de repouso (GER). Embora a calorimetria indireta (CI) seja considerada padrão ouro para avaliar o GER, equações matemáticas preditivas são mais comuns na prática clínica. Objetivo: Avaliar a...

Avaliação do gasto energético de repouso em pacientes com doença hepática gordurosa não alcoólica

Arq. gastroenterol; 58 (2), 2021
ABSTRACT BACKGROUND: Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is currently considered a global public health problem, with changes in lifestyle being the effective way to treat the disease. To date, there is no recommended standard of assessment to determine the resting energy expenditure (REE) of pat...

Agreement between equations-estimated resting metabolic rate and indirect calorimetry-estimated resting metabolic rate in low-income obese women

ABSTRACT Objectives Indirect calorimetry is established as a gold standard to determine the resting metabolic rate (RMR), however, its clinical use is limited, especially in low-income settings. Thus, the use of predictive equations appear as an alternative to estimate the RMR, but its precision is deb...

Basal metabolic rate in Brazilian patients with type 2 diabetes: comparison between measured and estimated values

ABSTRACT Objectives: The aims of this study are to investigate which of the seven selected predictive equation for estimating basal metabolic rate (BMR) is the best alternative to indirect calorimetry (IC) and to evaluate the dietary energy intake in patients with type 2 diabetes. Subjects and methods:...

Energy expenditure, growth, and nutritional therapy in appropriate and small for gestational age preterm infants

J. pediatr. (Rio J.); 94 (6), 2018
Abstract Objective: To evaluate the resting energy expenditure, growth, and quantity of energy and macronutrients intake in a group of preterm newborns. Methods: The cohort study was performed with appropriate and small for gestational age preterm infants (birth weight lower than 1500 g or gestational ...

Walking economy and aerobic power in Parkinson's disease after endurance exercise training: A pilot study

OBJECTIVE: To verify the effect of an endurance exercise program in middle stages of Parkinson's disease. METHODS: The patients were two women and seven men with Parkinson's disease, aged 56 to 74 years, classified at Hoehn and Yahr stages 2 to 2.5. The study was designed as an open long-term pilot tria...

Comparison between resting metabolic rate and indirect calorimetry in postmenopausal women

Rev. Nutr. (Online); 30 (5), 2017
ABSTRACT Objective To compare resting metabolic rate values determined by indirect calorimetry with values estimated using different predictive equations in lean and overweight postmenopausal women. Methods Twenty-four women, who had stopped menstruating for at least two years, were subjected to anthro...

Applicability of predictive equations for resting energy expenditure in obese patients with obstructive sleep apnea

ABSTRACT 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 Twenty-nine obese men, 41.5 ± 7 years old, with moderate and severe O...

Body composition, resting energy expenditure and inflammatory markers: impact in users of depot medroxyprogesterone acetate after 12 months follow-up

ABSTRACT Objective The aim of this study was to evaluate for 12 months the changes of body weight using Depot Medroxyprogesterone Acetate (DMPA) and if these changes are related to inflammatory markers. Subjects and methods Twenty women of childbearing age who chose the DMPA, without previous use of ...
