Indirect calorimetry (IC) is considered as the gold standard to determine energy expenditure,
by measuring pulmonary gas exchanges. It is a non-invasive technique that allows clinicians …

Background & aims The year 2019 marked the centenary of the publication of the Harris and
Benedict equations for estimation of energy expenditure. In October 2019 a Scientific …

The COVID-19 pandemics has created unprecedented challenges and threats to patients
and healthcare systems worldwide. Acute respiratory complications that require intensive …

A gluten-free diet (GFD) is the only available treatment for celiac disease (CeD), and it may
also improve symptoms in non-celiac gluten/wheat sensitivity (NCGWS). In CeD, gluten …

Background and aims Optimal nutritional therapy, including the individually adapted
provision of energy, is associated with better clinical outcomes. Indirect calorimetry is the …

Background Accurate estimation of resting energy expenditure (REE) in children and
adolescents is important to establish estimated energy requirements. The objective of this …

In this, the second of four historical reviews on human thermoregulation during exercise, we
examine the research techniques developed by our forebears. We emphasise calorimetry …

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 …

This study aimed to develop a predictive equation for basal metabolic rate (BMR) in normal-
weight Chinese adults and provide a reference for establishing the national recommended …

Background & aims The resting energy expenditure (REE) determination is important in
nutrition for adequate dietary prescription. The gold standard ie indirect calorimetry is not …
