Resting energy expenditure, body composition, and metabolic alterations in breast cancer survivors vs. healthy controls: a cross-sectional study.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

This study aimed to investigate the difference in absolute and fat free mass (FFM)-adjusted resting energy expenditure (mREE) and body composition (body weight, fat mass (FM), FFM) between breast cancer survivors (BCs) and controls. Correlations with body composition were analyzed. We examined if survival year, or being metabolically dysfunctional were predictive variables.

Methods

A cross-sectional analysis was conducted on 32 BCs ≤5 years post treatment and 36 healthy controls. Indirect calorimetry measured absolute mREE. Body composition was determined by BOD POD. FFM-adjusted mREE was calculated (mREE/FFM). The Harris-Benedict equation was used to predict REE and determine hyper-/hypometabolism (mREE/pREE).
