Predictions of resting energy expenditure in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis are greatly impacted by reductions in fat free mass

Predictions of resting energy expenditure in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis are greatly impacted by reductions in fat free mass

Background: Hypermetabolism, defined as an increase in measured resting energy expenditure (mREE) relative to predicted REE (pREE), is recognised as an important feature of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). Previous predictions of REE in ALS have not accounted for differences in fat free mass (FF...
