The safest place to store lipids is the white adipose tissue, but its storage capacity may
become saturated resulting in excess of fat “overspilled” to non-adipose tissues. This …

Humans over 70 yr of age often lose weight. This appears to be due to a physiological
anorexia of aging as well as a loss of lean mass (sarcopenia) and, to a lesser extent, fat …

Background: Associations between body composition and the energy expended on basal
metabolism and activity are complex and age dependent. Objective: The objective was to …

This review collates studies of healthy, sick, underweight (BMI⩽ 21kg/m2) and very elderly
people (⩾ 90yr), in whom resting energy expenditure (REE) was measured using indirect …

Following a request from the European Commission, the Panel on Dietetic Products,
Nutrition and Allergies (NDA) derived dietary reference values for energy, which are …

Physical activity (PA) is known to decline with age; however, there is a paucity of data on
activity in persons who are in their nineties and beyond. We used objective and reliable …

Determining energy requirement is a fundamental of nutrition support. Indirect calorimetry
(IC) has been long recognized as the gold standard for assessing basal or resting energy …

Background Very little is known about the longitudinal changes in energy requirements in
late life. The purposes of this study were to:(1) determine the energy requirements in late life …

Physical activity (PA) has been proposed as a determinant of cognitive function and is one
component of energy balance (EB). EB is the difference between energy intake (EI) and the …

Previously, we showed that FI34, a frailty index based on 34 health and function ability
variables, is heritable and a reliable phenotypic indicator of healthy aging. We have now …
