Modeling of Energy Expenditure and Resting Metabolic Rate during Weight Loss in Humans

  • Chapter
Mathematical Modeling in Experimental Nutrition

Part of the book series: Advances in Experimental Medicine and Biology ((AEMB,volume 445))

Abstract

With obesity prevalent and increasing in the United States, there is substantial interest in human energy balance. According to results from the Third National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES III), the proportion of overweight Americans has increased from 25% to 33% between 1980 and 1991 (Kuczmarski et al., 1994). Overweight and obesity are known to increase an individual’s risk for diabetes (NIDDK, 1995), heart disease, hypertension, and gallbladder disease (Sjostrom, 1992a), and cancer mortality (Sjostrom, 1992b).
