Low resting energy expenditure in postmenopausal Japanese women with type 2 diabetes mellitus.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

Resting energy expenditure (REE) is an important tool in nutrition management, especially in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). The predicted REE (pREE) was reported to be inaccurate, compared with measured REE (mREE) in Japanese T2DM patients. Despite the accuracy of REE, measured via indirect calorimetry (mREE), the technique is demanding. This study evaluated the associated clinical factors of the difference between pREE and mREE in Japanese patients with T2DM.

Methods

Forty-nine Japanese patients with T2DM but no severe complications (32 men and 17 women) were enrolled. mREE was determined via indirect calorimetry.

Results

Participants average age was 56.3 ± 11.0 years, body mass index was 25.2 ± 3.6 kg/m², and HbA1c was 9.6 ± 1.6%. The mean mRE
