Abstract

Undernourishment is promoted by an unbalance between energy expenditure and intake. Resting energy expenditure (REE) in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is commonly predicted using the Harris-Benedict (HB) and the Angelillo-Moore (AM) formulas, however no study has investigated to which extent COPD patients with an energy unbalance go unnoticed when REE is predicted rather than measured with indirect calorimetry. This study demonstrates that 66% and 25% of negatively unbalanced patients go unnoticed when using HB and AM, respectively, urging to discourage the use of REE predicting formulas in clinical practice, at least in cases at risk of undernourishment.

Keywords: COPD; Energy expenditure measurements; Indirect calorimetry.
