Summary

Abstract

The aims of the present study were to examine possible effects of age and sex on energy expenditure independent of differences in body composition, and to develop prediction equations for individual estimation of energy expenditure. The study is based on 235 female and 78 male subjects ranging in age from 15 to 64 y and with body mass indexes (in kg/m2) ranging from 16.9 to 50.5. Basal metabolic rate (BMR), sleeping energy expenditure, and 24-h energy expenditure were measured with standardized protocols by indirect calorimetry in respiratory chambers. Anthropometric data were also recorded. Spontaneous physical activity (SPA) was estimated by a radar system dur...
