Background: Patients with chronic nonspecific low back pain (CNSLBP) show reduced inspiratory muscle function. However, studies comparing maximal inspiratory pressure (MIP) and exercise-induced inspiratory muscle fatigue (IMF) between CNSLBP and healthy controls (HC) are lacking.
Objective: To compare MIP and exercise-induced IMF between CNSLBP and HC.
Purpose: Small fiber neuropathy (SFN) is characterized by neuropathic pain, associated with decreased quality of life (QOL). It remains unclear which psychosocial factors play a role in SFN. The experience sampling method (ESM) allows a profound understanding of the real-time fluctuations in reaction to events.

Current pain treatment is mainly symptomatic, consisting of analgesics, with often disappointing results. There is a need for new, more effective treatment modality.

- Doubly labeled water is the most reliable method for measuring total energy expenditure (TEE), but its accuracy can be affected by the isotope dilution space ratio (DSR).
- This study explored factors like age, sex, ethnicity, body composition, and geographical elevation to see how they influence DSR, using various statistical analysis methods.
- Results showed that while DSR decreased with age in individuals 60 and older, no significant effects were found from other variables, suggesting that previous estimates of TEE might be overestimating values for older individuals, especially those around 90 years old.
