Two educational modules using interactive multimedia to assist undergraduate students in building knowledge and skills in enteral and parenteral nutrition support were developed and used as part of a clinical nutrition course at Cal Poly State University. The selection, calculation, administration, and monitoring of nutrition support systems is complex, has life and death consequences, and requires...
The purpose of this study was to determine if actual, ideal, or adjusted body weight should be used in the Harris-Benedict equation (HBE) to estimate basal energy expenditure (BEE) in obese females and to determine if the Ireton-Jones equation (IJE) accurately estimates BEE in obese females. Nineteen healthy, premenopausal, obese (>125% IBW) females, ages 18-39 completed a questionnaire detailing...
The purpose of this study was to assess body fat distribution and basal metabolic rate (BMR) in a group of 19 healthy premenopausal women, age 29.5+/-5.4 (mean+/-SD), >125% ideal body weight. Subjects completed a questionnaire detailing demographic information and medical history. Abdominal adiposity was determined by 6 different methods: waist to hip circumference ratio (WHR), sagittal diameter...
LEARNING OUTCOME: To describe the relationship between body fat distribution, anthropometric variables, and metabolic rate. People with central obesity tend to have a higher resting energy expenditure (REE) compared to lower-body obese individuals since intra-abdominal fat is more metabolically active than peripheral fat. This study was conducted to analyze the relationship bewteen REE and waist-to-hip...
