Energy requirements of urban Chinese adults with manual or sedentary occupations, determined using the doubly labeled water method

To examine total energy expenditure (TEE) in relation to occupation and reported leisure time activities in free-living Chinese adults, and to determine whether measured TEE values differ from current international dietary energy recommendations. Seventy three weight-maintaining adults aged 35-49 y,...

Description
Summary:To examine total energy expenditure (TEE) in relation to occupation and reported leisure time activities in free-living Chinese adults, and to determine whether measured TEE values differ from current international dietary energy recommendations. Seventy three weight-maintaining adults aged 35-49 y, leading unrestricted lives in urban Beijing, with a wide variety of occupations. A cross-sectional study in which TEE was determined by doubly labeled water, body composition by deuterium oxide ((2)H(2)O) dilution, resting energy expenditure (pREE) by prediction equations, and occupational and leisure time activities by questionnaire. For men and women respectively, TEE averaged 12.10+/-0.32 and 9.53+/-0.23 MJ/day (P
