From page 25... ... A specific advantage of using the IAEA DLW database is that it provides an estimate of total energy expenditure over a period of several days, enabling adjustment for reducing the effect of day-to-day variability in energy intake and physical activity. Integral to the calculation of EERs is the delineation of energy needs by physical activity level (PAL) Read the entire page →
From page 26... ... The review will consider age, sex, body size, body composition, level of physical activity, and race/ethnicity, along with other factors that may be warranted based on available data. The committee will consider other significant variables, including energy needed for growth and maturation and to support pregnancy, energy needs postpartum, amounts to achieve and maintain weight loss or weight gain, requirements to support recovery from disease and treatments or interventions such as surgery, and the health consequences of chronic overnutrition or undernutrition across the life span.

From page 27... ... In response to the sponsor's request, the Health and Medicine Division of the National Academies established a committee with expertise in the following: • Energy metabolism across the life span, including pregnancy, lactation, and menopause; • Physical activity; • Human nutrition across the life span; • Clinical trials, including design and conduct of diet interventions; • Methods in energy metabolism and body composition; • Systematic review methodology, including quality and risk-of bias assessment; • Statistics, modeling, and analysis methods; • Application of the DRI framework; and • Use of doubly labeled water data. Biographical sketches of the committee members are provided in Appendix B Read the entire page →
From page 28... ... Chapter 4 reviews metabolic factors that affect energy expenditure and requirements. Chapter 5 presents the prediction equations for estimated energy requirements that the committee developed. Read the entire page →
