Basal Metabolic Rate Versus Dietary Vitamin D and Calcium Intakes and the Association With Body Composition and Bone Health After Chronic Spinal Cord Injury.

ABSTRACT: We examined the association among basal metabolic rate (BMR) as well as dietary intakes of vitamin D (Vit D) and calcium on body composition and bone mineral density (BMD) after spinal cord injury (SCI). Cross-sectional design. Veterans Affairs Medical Center, Richmond, VA. About 33 individuals with chronic SCI who recorded their food consumption 3 days per week for 2 weeks. BMR was measured after 10 to 12 h of overnight fast. Average daily vit D and calcium intakes, and total caloric intake were recorded and analyzed using the Nutrition Data System for Research (NDSR) software. Fasting blood analysis for 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25[OH]D) status and Triiodothyronine (T3) status was performed (n = 10). Total and regional BMD, % fat mass (FM), and % lean mass (LM) were measured by dual X-ray abs
