Objective To determine the prevalence of hypermetabolism, relative to body composition, in
amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and its relationship with clinical features of disease and …

Objectives The aims were to analyse changes in nutritional parameters from diagnosis of
amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) to death and to assess their relationships with survival at …

Background and purpose The aim of this study was to investigate patients with amyotrophic
lateral sclerosis in order to determine their nutritional, neurological and respiratory …

BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Nutritional status is a prognostic factor for survival in
amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) patients. We investigated the contribution of some of the …

The malnutrition common among patients with ALS can be attributed in some cases to
increased resting energy expenditure (REE). However, the origins and evolution of this …

Background Body weight reduction after disease onset is an independent predictor of
survival in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), but significance of weight variation after …

Background: Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a severe disease characterized by
neurogenic amyotrophy and degeneration of upper and lower motor neurons. Although ALS …

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is characterised by the progressive degeneration of
upper and lower motor neurons. Besides motor neuron degeneration, ALS is associated …

Objective: Weight loss in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is associated with faster
disease progression and shorter survival. It has different possible causes, including loss of …

Objectives To assess the role of body mass index (BMI) and of the rate of weight loss as
prognostic factors in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and to explore the clinical correlates …
