Estimates of Resting Energy Expenditure and Total Energy Expenditure Using Predictive Equations for Individuals After Bariatric Surgery: a Systematic Review with Meta-analysis.

Purpose: Patients after metabolic bariatric surgery (MBS) require attention to maintain energy balance and avoid weight regain. Predictive equations for resting energy expenditure (REE) and total energy expenditure (TEE) are needed since gold standard methods like calorimetry and doubly labeled water are rarely available in routine clinical practice. This study aimed to determine which predictive equation for REE and TEE has the lowest bias in subjects after MBS.

Prevalence of food addiction among patients undergoing metabolic/bariatric surgery: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Candidates for metabolic/bariatric surgery show a high prevalence of food addiction (FA). However, few studies have investigated FA prevalence after bariatric surgery, especially using longitudinal studies. This systematic review with a meta-analysis aimed to determine pre- and postoperative prevalence of FA among patients undergoing metabolic/bariatric surgery.

The relationship between total energy expenditure and physical activity level in women living in an impoverished Brazilian urban area.

Objective: This study aimed to describe how strong is the relationship between TEE and PAL in women living in an impoverished Brazilian urban area.

Methods: Anthropometric, hormonal (insulin, TSH, FT , and FT ), body composition (deuterium), TEE (doubly labeled water) and PAL (metabolic equivalent task [MET]-7-day triaxial accelerometer, ActivPAL®) data were collected from 55 women (mean age: 31y, mean BMI: 27.4 kg/m ).

Prevalence of food addiction determined by the Yale Food Addiction Scale and associated factors: A systematic review with meta-analysis.

Objective: To determine, through a systematic review with meta-analysis, the prevalence of food addiction (FA) using the Yale Food Addiction Scale (YFAS) and its derivatives exploring possible factors associated with the prevalence of FA in several contexts.

Methods: The following databases were searched: MEDLINE, ScienceDirect, LILACS, PsycArticles, CENTRAL, Greylit.org, and OpenGrey.

Acute effects of time-restricted feeding in low-income women with obesity placed on hypoenergetic diets: Randomized trial.

Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the acute effects of time-restricted feeding in obese women living in social vulnerability who were placed on diets with the same energy deficit.

Methods: Fifty-eight obese women (19-44 y of age) were randomized to a group with a hypoenergetic diet and 12 h of fasting daily or to a group with only a hypoenergetic diet for 21 d, with body weight and waist circumference monitoring up to 81 d of intervention. The determination of the individual's energy content of the diets was based on their resting metabolic rate (by indirect calorimetry) and physical activity level (by triaxial accelerometers).

Agreement between equations-estimated resting metabolic rate and indirect calorimetry-estimated resting metabolic rate in low-income obese women.

Objectives Indirect calorimetry is established as a gold standard to determine the resting metabolic rate (RMR), however, its clinical use is limited, especially in low-income settings. Thus, the use of predictive equations appear as an alternative to estimate the RMR, but its precision is debatable, especially in obese individuals and in populations without specifically developed equations. To evaluate the agreement between the RMR estimated by equations and by indirect calorimetry in low-income obese women.

Sitting/lying time is associated with waist-to-hip increase but not with body weight increase or blood cardiovascular risk factors changes in adult women living in social vulnerability: A 2-year longitudinal study.

Objective: The present study aimed to determine whether physical activity and energy intake are associated with the anthropometric and blood cardiovascular risk factors alterations in women living in social vulnerability for a period of 2 years.

Methods: The study was carried out with women residing in the outskirts of Maceió-AL, aged between 19 and 45 years. We characterized the socioeconomic and biochemical profile (glucose, insulin, and blood lipids) at the beginning and at the end of the study.

Agreement between the total energy expenditure calculated with accelerometry data and the BMR yielded by predictive equations . the total energy expenditure obtained with doubly labelled water in low-income women with excess weight.

Low-income women are the group with the highest levels of obesity worldwide. In low-income settings, the use of predictive equations, which yield a measure of the individuals' BMR, is a feasible approach to estimate the individuals' total energy expenditure (TEE), using the factorial method (calculated-TEE = BMR × physical activity level), an important step of the obesity nutritional care. The present study aimed to identify the predictive equation that, in conjunction with metabolic equivalents of tasks (MET) data from accelerometers, yields the calculated-TEE with better agreement compared with the TEE measured by doubly labelled water (TEE-DLW).
