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, …

Obesitas bij adolescenten geeft naast sociale en emotionele gevolgen ook een groter risico op medische complicaties zoals onder andere glucose-intolerantie. Recent is onderzocht of het multidisciplinaire groepsprogramma Go4it beter werkt dan de reguliere zorg voor obese adolescenten in de leeftijd van …

Background: When the resting energy expenditure (REE) of overweight and obese adolescents cannot be measured by indirect calorimetry, it has to be predicted with an equation. Objective: The aim of this study was to examine the validity of published equations for REE compared with indirect calorimetry …
